Had a dream about my mom last night. But it was really weird. I was somehow in space and she was an astronaut and she was traversing warp holes and I was like “mom, isn’t that scary?” and she seemed unphased by that.
My mom passed in 2021 for reference.
You fkn bet I do.
Her name was Laurie, and I loved her and she loved me. She was perfect. Faults, baggage and all. We split up after a few years and tried to go our separate ways.
One day I was in a library and was compelled to pick up the fucking obituaries. And there she was. I still don’t know what happened to her, and this was over 15 years ago.
I’ve had relationships since Laurie. I’ve loved again, opened my heart up again. But it’s not the same. I dream about her a couple times a month. Still. When I was at a really low point in my life, I used to dream about her telling me she was waiting for me and to come find her. I almost did it. I spent a lot of time in counseling afterward.
I still think of her. I still miss her. I’m sure a shrink would have a lot to tell me about it.
Thanks for sharing, sounds like you really loved her.
Counseling helped me out quite a bit too getting on with my mom’s passing.
