When Madison was in kindergarten she went to Oaks Montessori School. Every year they had a Mardi Gras ball and chose a king, queen and court. That year Madison was chosen as Queen of the Mardi Gras ball. Derric was in 3rd grade and chosen to be a duke. She was very excited, we all were. My mom made her a beautiful dress of red satin and white tulle. She put shinny red hearts in the tulle and made her a wreath of red hearts to wear on her head. She looked very pretty in her dress. When she walked out onto the middle of the floor with the king she was smiling so big yet seemed a little shy about it all. After the court was introduced the king and queen danced for about 30 seconds then Madison danced with her daddy. That was her first official father daughter dance, her only. She danced with her daddy and papaw at weddings but that was her only real father daughter dance and I didn’t realize it until I typed it just now. She was only 5 years old. I still have the dress. I miss you baby.
