Why this must be read:

At various times humorous and at others just sad, this fic shows five memories that Daniel regains at just the wrong times. But then, when has the universe ever made anything easy for our favorite archeologist? CJ writes emotions beautifully, and this fic is no exception. The first memory made me chuckle, the third about Janet just killed me, and the last I had to cringe and just want to hug my boys as it was pure evidence of the fuckery the universe does to Daniel's life. You'll enjoy this look at Daniel's memories at all the emotions they bring forward.

Story Summary: see title really

Then there was the memory of Janet teaching Teal'c the Macarena dance. A backyard barbecue that had been full of food and friends and beer had been the backdrop to the memory. A little high on sunshine and cold brew when the song had come on the radio Janet and Sam couldn't help but dance in their seats along with it. When Teal'c had questioned what they were doing, Janet had laughed and simply pulled him out into the yard and taught him the dance. There was much laughter and cat-calling from their audience as their dance wound down. It was a silly light-hearted moment that Daniel was glad was so indelibly set in his mind that it was one of his strongest returning memories; it would always be something that made him smile. However he wished it hadn't returned the moment Taps started playing at Janet's memorial service.
