My Aunt Ann passed away on July 22, 2008. I have waited and waited for her to visit me in my dreams. I knew in my heart that she would…just didn’t know when. It finally happened. Early this morning, I dreamed about her. And today is my birthday. She came to me in my dreams, on my 38th birthday. She was as beautiful as ever…happy, healthy. I think we might have been in Heaven; that part, I’m not too clear on. It was some sort of family get-together. Lots of family was there, at a table, eating. Everything was so clear and bright and white. And she was laughing that laugh of hers. I miss that sound. Jacob had a nightmare and came and woke me up. After I got him back to bed and snuggled with him for a few, I went back to bed and just wished that I could restart that dream. I so badly wanted it to be real. I’ve thought about her all day. I miss her so much. And the song “I Hope You Dance” came on the radio today at work while we were eating lunch. On a station that normally plays Top 40 music. (That song was in a journal she started when she first got sick….) I literally stopped with a fork halfway to my mouth when I realized the song. I cried. Just tears pouring down my face. I didn’t even realize I was crying. The girls I work with were tearing up, too. I had told them about the dream and then the significance of that song. There were no dry eyes.
I just miss her. Very much. Every day.

Glad it was a happy dream and know if it is at all possible she is watching over us. That is so weird tho, I dreamed about Aunt Evelyn 2 nights in a row and I loved her to death too. No where in the Bible does it say we’ll be with our loved ones again, but I still like to believe it/or at least hope for a flash of deja vu when I meet a red headed angel.
((((((Vicky)))))) I do believe our deceased loved ones can help us and come to us.
When my Grandma passed away years ago, my sister Joan and I drive to VA to pick up our Mom and then onto PA. On the way home, right after we left my Mom’s in Va, I was driving, and hit a patch of black ice. The car spun around and ended up perfectly on the other side of the road facing the wrong way. There had been a car coming the other direction and I swear it looked like we just missed hitting them. I never got scared! I truly believe our Grandma with God’s help, was protecting us. A mile down the road a school bus was in the ditch! (no injuries).
I know you miss her like crazy. It’s a blessing to have those memories and dreams.
Reading and crying..I have so prayed to have Ann visit in my dreams. It’s impossible to try to explain how much I miss her though I don’t need to try since you all know how it is.
