I saw Josh yesterday when I went to work. His mom wasn't there but he was in her office working on something for her. He told me about his uncle. He seems like he's handling things well but he seemed stressed. He said his mom is really upset. He asked me how the plans were going for Molly's party and told me that he would still help me with decorations and favors this weekend. It seemed like he needed to get his mind off of things.

As we were talking I asked him if he knew the name of one of the slow songs we danced to the other night. I can't get the melody of out of my head. His face kind of lit up when I asked and he said, "Why?" I told him that it's been in my head and he just grinned and shook his head. I don't know what he was thinking but he did tell me the name of the song: "Moonlight Serenade." It's amazing to me that he knows every song that exists!

After work I got a call from Mona, the dance studio owner. She invited me over to join one of her classes for the evening. It was a dance aerobics class. I dragged Molly along with me and we got a great workout. I really like the studio and Mona seems to like me. She told me again that I should apply for a job.

I would love to work there but I don't feel right about quitting on Mrs. Anderson right now. She has too much going on. I actually volunteered to work again this afternoon to help out since she's spending a lot of time with her brother. I know there's nothing I can do to keep him alive, but I keep praying that he will go with as little pain and suffering as possible - for both him and his family.
