Dreams and Nightmares

I dream every night, but very very seldom do I have a nightmare.

Last night I had one. I dreamed that we got a call from the hospital -- Bart was not in town, and I went there to find that Salinda had been in an accident. After a short while they told me she didn’t make it. I had to break the news to the kids myself. The dream only lasted long enough for me to tell Kyle, Sadie, and John, but it was HORRIBLE beyond description -- the depth of their and my emotion in that dream.

When Salinda wakes up I’m going to give her a big hug -- even if she wakes up crabby and irritable (which happens every other day now that she’s 13).

I’ve never been so happy to wake up and discover I’d been dreaming.
