Dreams and Shooting Stars November 11, 2008

Recently I had a dream about my mom.  I haven’t had one in a while and this one was, the most real out of all of them.  My whole family was riding in the car together and we were going to watch a movie, but ended up at a parade instead. The whole time we were all talking like everything was normal. I was sitting back to back with my mom at the parade and we were just talking and suddenly everything became really clear to me and I turned my head, and grabbed my mom’s hand and just our fingers were linked, like cupped with one another. And I squeezed her hand and started to cry and told her that I missed her and she said she misses me too. And then I woke up and was crying and I looked at my hand and there was an imprint that looked like fingernails in my hand, and any of you that know me know how short my fingernails are and how it couldn’t have been mine. I know that it was just a dream but it felt SO real.

The other part of this title is about a song “One Moment More” by Mindy Smith that I have loved for a few years now and just recently found out that she wrote it for her mom that also died from cancer. She talks about how when she sees a shooting star it feels like her mom not That far away. I have seen 2 shooting stars in the past month :) and it is really just something that comforts me now.

Here is her song:

    That’s so weird that you would write about that this week. I had the most vivid dream about mom last night & seriously woke up the same way, I was crying but everything about it was comforting. Weird…
