This week, I have been sleeping better and having very vivid dreams. I attribute this to getting back to the gym, but that's a different story.  My dreams haven't been as weird as they usually are - they've been about what's going on in my life. Last night it was about waiting for the furnace repair guy to come and about thanksgiving weekend, the night before it was about trying to get homework done, etc.  The one common theme though, is that Mom is in all of them. Sometimes she is alive and well and helping me solve a problem and in others, she is in the hospice and I am dealing with some issue on my way to visiting her, but either way, she is there.

 

Maybe this is to remind me that she is with me, or maybe it's more factual than that because we are quickly approaching the time when we have decided to scatter her ashes as she wished. All I know is that when she is in my dream and we are able to have a good conversation, I don't really want to wake up and have that end.
