A Dream



I have been having a couple vivid dreams lately. It's very rare for me to remember any of my dreams, but this one was so clear.

Marshall had a new car, and it was a light blue Prius! But inside it looked like his MR2 and it was old and tiny inside, with a bunch a school papers scattered in the back. I just remember him showing me the car and opening the driver's door for me to see inside. He was just there, being Marshall. Everything felt so normal. How I long to make this real! How I long to be standing next to him right now, just talking with him, just being "normal"! Seeing his little smirk, asking him questions, listening to his quirky comments ... I know there was more to the dream but I just can't remember any more ... oh I hate forgetting. I hope I dream about him again. Have any of you had dreams about Marshall or loved ones who have died? I remember I had one dream that was so clear soon after the accident ... it was just me and him and we were on this HUGE staircase - I guess the staircase to heaven. He was in a white robe and he was really shining. He said, "Everything is going to be ok." And that was all. I think my mind just made it up but I also beleive that God can use dreams to speak to us, so maybe that was just a reminder that I WILL see Marshall again in heaven someday ... someday soon.

I like the pictures! I had a dream right after Marshall's homecoming, I think it was a night or two after the 22nd, but now I can't remember the content anymore. What an awesome, exciting hope we have in seeing him and one another again. And being with one another forever! The waiting and anticipation is heart warming. What a thrill it will be! I picture it like when Frodo's friends, Merry & Pippin were finally reunited at the end of Lord of the Rings film. There will be shouting, hugging, and lots of laughter!

I agree Dad, I was thinking the same thing as we were watching "Return of the King" the other night. The first time I saw it I remember thinking that it was so weird that they were laughing so much when they saw each other, but now I understand that they just couldn't help it because they were SO happy to see each other! I think it will be like that in heaven.
