In my dream

my Mom still had Dementia

but she was able to talk

and she thanked us

for not worrying her

with all of our shit basically.

She said in her way,

“And for THAT, I am Eternally Grateful!”

Which was a response to

telling her so much had

happened and she had asked to be brought

up to speed on what had

happened that night.

“We are trying to

keep you from having to worry”

I retorted with a hefty eye roll when she first

asked, just like I used to back

when she used to ask me over

and over about what I had been

up to that day.

I miss those days so much now.

Funny how that happens.

Even though it was only.a dream,

I really feel like she visited me

in my dream and I feel so comforted

knowing that will still happen

even when she is gone.

Oh how I dread that day.

But anyway–she always had

a sense when I had had

an interesting day and I was holding back–

those days I would cave

and tell her it all and it really.did feel good.

I was always so tired

by the time she was asking.

I wish I told her everything.

But in my dream this one I am telling you about

right now,

I had had a particularly wild night.

In my dream I had crashed someone’s truck

into a building.

So when my Mom asked

about the night it was an extra interesting one!

Mom’s truly always know haha.

I had been wild at a wild party that night.

I can’t remember exactly what occurred,

but I know I woke up thinking “Phew”

Glad that was just a dream.

I am going to savor every moment with my Mom

and my memories of her

and every dream I have about her

and every dream I have in life

which for me is to Write Books!
