A Dream I'll Never Forget

I am sitting at my computer while Brock is taking his nap and I decided to post a blog for the day and I thought that I might share something kind of personal. I'm sure some of you have already heard this story but I thought I would tell it again anyway.

I truly believe that our loved ones can contact us through our dreams, some might call this a coincidence but in my heart I know different. I was about three or four months pregnant when this happened to me.

I was asleep one night and I was dreaming of my mother. I had had other dreams about her and in those dreams she hadn't passed away and we would be doing typical things like watching TV together or random things like that but she never spoke and I never spoke to her. This dream was different I knew that she was dead and I was suprised to see her. She was sitting in a rocking chair and in her arms she was holding a baby. She looked so peaceful and in her element, anyone that knew my mother knew that she loved babies so much that it was a true shame that she only had two of her own babies, anyways, there she sat in that rocking chair, rocking back and forth looking at the baby with great love in her eyes. I walked up to her and called her name, "Mama", she looked up and I said, "what are you doing?", and she smiled and said, "this is your baby boy and I am taking care of him until you are ready to have him".

I awoke immediately and just cried and cried. A sweet calming came over me and I knew that this baby was going to be okay. Ever since we lost our little girl Paige I was very nervous about being pregnant again and after that dream I knew that I would be able to hold this baby in my arms and love him and watch him grow up. About two months after that dream occured we went in to find out that sure enough it was a little boy and I knew with a surety that my mama did come to visit me that night. That is the only dream I have ever had of my mother where she spoke to me and we both knew that she was gone. I know that this was no ordinary dream, I know with all my being that this was my mother speaking to me from Heaven where she is patiently waiting for the rest of her family to return home with honor. I hope that I can become a loving, patient, fun and happy mother just like my own and make my mother proud.
