Those of you who know me are aware that I have some strange dreams from time to time. There was the one where I had a black cat stuck on my head... the one about snakes... the one about falling down the stairs... and the recurring dreams about missing my final exams or coming up one credit short at highschool graduation.
But recently I had a dream about a friend I hadn't seen in several years. In 2001, I moved away from the neighborhood where I'd lived for 17 years and lost touch with many of my neighbors. I hadn't seen Linda in 4 years, but I recently I had a dream that included her. Several days ago, I found out that Linda died in early December. I am so saddened by her passing. She had a vibrant personality, a beautiful smile, and a wonderful laugh. She was so proud of her son Aaron! Initially, I was disconcerted about having dreamed of Linda near the time of her death. But now I'm comforted by my odd little nocturnal remembrance. Comforted, yet I don't pretend to understand...
