I had a dream I was out camping in the woods. The first night I heard somebody calling my name, but I ignored it. The next night I heard the same thing, so I grabbed my flashlight and went to the edge of the woods and looked in. There was a bright glow and something called me to it. It was so bright that I didn’t need my flashlight, but for some reason I wasn’t afraid I walked over and set down on a tree stump. The glow came to me, I wasn’t afraid it stood in front of me and at first it didn’t do anything then thoughts started coming into my mind. “I am always here it told me, you don’t have to worry about me anymore I am never going to be sick again. It’s time for you to live your life now have fun and enjoy yourself, don’t cry for me anymore I am very happy where I am I am always with you I never left you and will never leave your side I will always be walking beside you.” The light started to fade, I got up and walked towards it but as I did another thought came to my mind, “No don’t come close to me it’s not your time I will not leave you I promise just go back to bed and sleep I will be here always.” And then the light went out. I felt a calm around me I wanted to hear more but she was gone. When I woke up I was back in the camper and I felt a peace all around me, I lied back down and fell back to sleep hoping I would dream of my mother some more.
