GONE
He spoke to someone in the office last week. He ironed out some details for their upcoming vacation plans. Thursday he met the guys for breakfast like he always does. Then he was off to the elementary school to volunteer in his granddaughter’s class. After school he took her home. He normally stays with her until dad or mom gets home. She ran upstairs to put her backpack away. When she came back down, grandpa was laying on the floor. She tried to wake him. Then his 8 year old granddaughter tried to do CPR. But her grandpa was already gone. It was a heart attack, he was 64.
We all cried.

DREAMING
I tend to have very vivid dreams. Details, colors, that sort of thing. I can normally remember pieces of my dreams, even though the logic behind them is pointless. Normally, like last night, someone I love is in my dream, the children in my adulthood are usually very young and the adults are normally those I love. Last night I was at a dinner party and Beth was 5 again. I knew everyone there and the busy conversations were happy and the tablecloth was pastel blue. I dream of people I know and usually places I am comfortable in, although my awake brain doesn’t know the places and the person in my dream may look like someone else… I knew who they were. Last nights dream was filled with happy chatter and hugs for people arriving at the gathering, I remember holding hands. It was a very happy dream.
A couple nights ago my dreams were not as pleasant. I do not remember the dream, well a tiny bit at the end. I remember being frightened. It was dark and I couldn’t tell who was behind me, but I was trying to escape. I couldn’t move and something was keeping me from yelling. I was scared and was trying to scream. My screaming was muffled. I woke up John with my muffled screaming, but not myself. He woke me up, helped the dream to end as I fell back to sleep.
Then I dreamed of a time when my children were young (always a treat to have my children little again). In the dream I remembered the actions of others impacting my children’s happiness. The self centered people that impacted my children. In this dream I remembered that it was a dream and I don’t have to deal with anyone’s gaslighting. But I was there in the dreamy drama and my children were dealing with the issue at hand. So I did what I would do when they really were that age and I tried to make things right, to make things happy. This dream reminded me that not only do I still detest people who made my children’s lives unhappy but I love each of my little ones so tremendously.
I tend to dream about certain people often and many of my dreams are in the woods or by some body of water. I dream about details, like the blue tablecloth, pink wallpaper and a red cap. I have conversations with my dream cast, and usually we are all happy.
Dreams keep our brains active and I know that I am blessed to have such an active imagination. Even though I don’t like the random scary and frustrating dreams, I’m always so glad I get to see the people who have made a happy appearance in my slumber movies.
