August 5th 1993 was Sunny’s birthday. He was born into my hands when I was living in Salamanca, and he died in my arms in Sevilla 16 years later. His name suited him so well because he had such a sunny personality, and he truly was the sunshine of my life. Such a loving and darling boy, a total pleasure to have around. Still miss you big guy… xx

It adds not only more dancing, but more colour and passion. I mean, it was always wonderful, but now…? You really need to see this.
