Grandfather's Dance

Jack leans back on Grandfather' s shoulder. Aunt Mattie' s knitting needles click in the dark. The moon rises. The candle flickers in the gentle prairie wind. I close my eyes to keep everything there.
Could anything be more perfect than a prairie wedding? Cassie Witting doesn' t think so, for her sister Anna' s wedding brings two lovebirds together, aunts from faraway Maine, a long white dress with a wedding veil, dancing under a clear blue sky, and a world that smells of roses.
As the Witting family comes together for this most special day, Cassie sees that life brings the change of seasons, brother Jack on Grandfather' s lap, joy, sorrow, and a special dance only Grandfather does.
