Moleskin: I relayed a dream I had last night. It was Christmas, and I was at a large gathering with extended family. I was standing at the top of some stairs, and looking down at the large room, observing the festivities. At the far end of the large room, I saw a small girl about 2 – 3 years old, and suddenly realized it was my daughter. She looked up at me, grinned, ran across the room, and began to climb the stairs to me. When she got to the step below me, I reached down, took her in my arms, and we hugged, smiling.
Suddenly my vision faded to black, then slowly returned. When it did, my daughter was no longer in my arms. I gasped audibly enough that everyone in the grand room below quieted and stared at me. I cried out, “She’s gone!” It then dawned on me that my daughter is not a toddler anymore; that I was past that point in our lives, and that she is grown. A deep sense of sorrow overwhelmed me and I began to sob.
I’ve had dreams similar to this a few times, with my other children. I realize that I long for the days where my children were young, innocent, full of wonder, and loved just spending time with me.
Prayers: Pray for @Maniac for a successful hosting of some people from Church that he doesn’t know very well. Pray for @TBTF as he takes his kids to a birthday party, that he’ll appreciate the time spent with them. Pray that my F3 party will be a success (I think it was).
