I’ve wanted to dream about Frankie since she’s been gone, but had not until last night.  I happen to believe that when your loved ones come to you in your dreams, that you truly are together– just in another realm that our awake minds can’t seem to comprehend.

I woke up incredibly happy today because Frankie and I were together in my dreams last night. I got to hold her once again.  I also held her in her pink sling, like I often did.  It felt so good to be with her again.  I told her all about National Walk ‘N Roll Dog Day, but I suspect she already knew about it.  But she listened intently as she always had when I talked to her when she was here.  I really think she was quite pleased with this day being created in her memory and that I am carrying on her message about how great all dogs in wheelchairs are.  I also think it is why she first visited me now… because she sees that I am strong enough on my own and is happy I am moving forward.

The road ahead for me still has more questions than answers and a friend recently asked me what my next plans are.  I said, “I”m not quite sure.  I will finish my book and release it early next year, but beyond that I’m not exactly sure.”

She said, “That’s okay.  You are marinating.”

I like that.  I am indeed marinating.  Some things have popped into my mind that I think I may like to do in regards to expanding the work Frankie and I did, but I’m not quite ready to share that yet.  I’ll continue to marinate and trust should this be the direction I am to take, I will know in due time.

With Frankie visiting me in my dream last night it brought me more comfort and just another affirmation that she is indeed with me all the time.

I know not everyone believes these things, but I can’t imagine not. It helps me to live in the here and now. It also helps strengthen my faith that we are all indeed together, no matter which side of the thin veil we are on.
