It seems Mom sent me a
comforting dream. ~grin~ It went back twenty-five years, our whole clan
celebrating Christmas in the old house. I sat talking to my five-year-old
nephew who now has a military career and four kids. His father (ever the clown)
modeled a coat decorated to make him look like a Christmas tree (didn't happen
but made my dream self laugh). My currently estranged brother and his now
ex-wife arrived late on a wave of good cheer.
All those hugs felt so real.
Crazy stuff, but left me feeling good.
So did Dad's email response to my obituary. He wrote, “Perfectly done, that's what writers are good at.” His certainty could not be more heartwarming.

On a random fun note, via
Instagram I learned another rocker celebrated a birthday yesterday. So Happy Belated
Birthday to M. Shadows, lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold!

I’m slowly dipping more toes
into the social media pool. Do you have an Instagram account?
So sorry about your mom but great that you got to write the last words about her....nice. Today....not moving too fast, finishing up laundry and just chilling more today. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a pain free, restful night. ~hugs~ Thanks for the kind words. My dad gave me the perfect task and he knew it. ~grin~ Smart man.
DeleteSounds like your mom visited you in that dream.
ReplyDeleteI am on Instagram. Occasionally I'll post what I'm knitting (or crocheting).
Thanks, Liz. I appreciate the sweet words. I should find you on Instagram.
DeleteYou were blessed to have folks like that, but so were your folks to have you. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am blessed, my dear. And my blessings go beyond to many fantastic folks. My first love's mom sent a delightful message, as did her first born. What joys.
DeleteI am sure your Mom did send you a dream to remember the good times. Very nice photo, I can tell she was very sweet just be seeing her photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear. Your kindness means a lot. Be well.
DeleteYour mom looks fun. I hope when I die someone writes a colorful maybe slightly twisted exaggerated obit for me. Make people laugh. Need more laughter in the world. Or conflicting obits, now that would be funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind word. She was fun. Folks who knew her (almost wrote 'know' - ~grin~) said my obituary did her justice. I definitely injected some gentle humor. I like amusing tombstones and obits, for sure. We think alike!
