So this morning I woke up tired because I didn't sleep good at all! I couldn't seem to get comfortable in my own bed and then my kids woke up at 3:30 for reasons unknown to me. But, thru all this I did manage to have a great dream. This kind of dream is my favorite kind because it was about two people in my life that have passed away in the last 6 years. I love these kind of dreams because it seems like you have actually been able to see and talk to them in real life. You wake up feeling happy, at least I do. The first person in my dream was Travis. Now Travis was my high school sweetheart of 2 years. We had a lot of fun together. He was very handsome with dark natural curly hair, olive skin and a darling grin. I attended both my Junior and Senior Prom with Travis. He is the one who started me working at Juniper Valley, the restaurant on the Ranch, the summer after my senior year. See if you can follow this: Travis's sister is Tami, was married to Greg, who is my husbands first cousin....got it? So after high school we remained friends and in touch because I worked with him at Juniper Valley. He has a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, on April 6th 2002 he was driving his red vintage mustang, which I loved, late at night and missed a curve out in the country and wrecked his car. He was killed instantly as he was partially thrown out. This news was extremely devastating to our entire family. He was only 27 years old. His funeral was beautiful. It was in a huge church with standing room only. It was like a high school reunion with all of our friends that came. He was very loved!
So I don't remember to much about my dream, but that I think we were still in high school and we were holding hands and we walked back to his mom's house. After being there for a while, the phone rang and it was my Grandma Irene and she was calling to tell me that my mom was worried about me and that I need to go home. I have told the story of her here. Anyway to hear her voice was sooo wonderful!! I just couldn't believe it. In my dream I knew she was deceased, but she was calling me on the phone. It was kinda weird, but very cool.
So, I am always thankful to have dreams about loved ones that I have lost. It is comforting to me and always gives my heart some joy. I just wish they happened more often.
I don't have any digital pics of Travis but here are a couple of my Grandma Irene with my kids:
