My Cousin Michelle

I am outside the town homes as Audrey and Emma fight. Emma is now able to climb out of her crib. This means...this means well I am really screwed. This means...no Gretchie break...I can no longer watch the Tudors, reruns of Ryan's Hope from the 1970's. This means I can no longer drink diet pepsi without hearing " I want diet kepsi". Yes, I am truly screwed. What does this have to do with Michelle...absolutely nothing. It's new news and its what is going on ova here in the ghetto of Danville.

Anyway, my cousin Michelle. Well I miss her a lot and I dreamed about her. It was an unusual dream. I dream occasionally about my father who died in 1988 (20 years ago to be exact). Anyway, I dream that dad comes back to earth. That he is still sick, he is still dying, but he has returned to help out our financially. We never discuss heaven. It's like taboo in my dreams. If I ask...there's no answer.

So, last night I dream that my cousins have come to visit me. Yes, this is a dream...because the last time my cousins came to visit was 11 years ago when Tom and I got married. Since that time and before that really...nobody has come to visit. California must be ugly or the devil lives here or something like that. Who knows...so the dream..the family here...well its more enforced as a dream. So, they are all walking through the door and I realize that Michelle is with them. She looks good, she looks healthy and she looks happy and she is smiling. The last time I saw Michelle she was dying, she had lost so much weight, and she was lethargic. So, I went up and hugged her and cried and cried. I told her how much I miss her and wondered why she was there. My cousins Mark and Jenene said that they had gone to the temple and found a way to bring her back. Diane said " Well Michelle you don't look younger yet" and Michelle said "No, that it comes in time". There was someone else in my dream...some guy who we suspected had brought Michelle back to us and he had. I have no idea how..it was weird. Anyway, I asked Michelle if she had read the letter I wrote her before she died and she said "Yes". It was be nice if loved ones could visit in our dreams and talk to us.
Well anyway, that was my dream......
