I woke and glanced at the clock a little before 6am this morning. Decided to close my eyes and doze for a bit.
Next thing I hear my beloved Nan call my name. ‘Are you all ok and healthy’ she asked, I replied we were fine, that we were all doing well. ‘That’s good’ she said - ‘I’m fine too, now don’t forget about me will you’ she said. I said ‘Nan, I’ll never ever ever forget about you’. Then I woke up sobbing.
My darling Nan passed away in August and I miss her so much, I spoke to her every single day without fail and she was like my mother - I shared everything with her. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about her.
I know it was a dream and it’s my own cruel mind that has done this - perhaps it’s not cruel as it was a reassuring conversation but I wish it was her, checking in and letting me know she’s ok. I’ve not stopped weeping all day, it’s made me worse. I miss her so much.
