It was so surreal. She unexpectedly passed when I was 12 and I’m 18 now. I always heard of people having dreams about their loved ones who had passed all the time and I’d grow sad/jealous because I never got to see her in my dreams unless it was a nightmare.

Yesterday I was really missing her a ton and it hurt. But when I went to sleep, in my dream I got a phone call from her and I could hear her voice as clear as day. Of course my first instinct was to cry but she told me not to. she said to just talk to her instead and take advantage of what little time we had.

I got to tell her all about the state of the world, college, getting my first job, senior year, my first boyfriend, and how much I’ve changed. We had an actual conversation. She told me how proud of me she is, and that she’s happy for me. To keep going, and stay strong.

I hope she comes and visits me again soon :)

edit: wow! i posted this and then went to work. i just got a second to look at my phone and - of course - i’m crying again. it’s so sweet hearing how many people can relate and have had such sweet experiences with dreams. thank you all so much for the love and support. for those of you who are grieving, my pms are always open, id love to talk
