Dancing With Gary

The first time I asked Gary to dance, he thought I was joking because “no one asks someone in a wheelchair to dance.” I winked and said that I promised I wouldn’t step on his toes. Our very first dance was to a popular ‘80s song, and he cried (tears of joy) because it had been a very long time since he had “danced with somebody”.

Over the next decade we would dance dozens of times, and I’ll never forget those moments. Gary was an all-around great guy and awesome dance partner!
