Dreams

It’s amazing how much we miss our loved ones when they’re gone. Pete lived a happy life that I’m sure of, I have no doubts about it. When you look at old photos he always looked happy. All the stories I’ve heard from my aunt and uncles were joyful and when you talk to Nanny (Pete’s lovely wife) my Grandma she tells happy stories as well even the stories when she was mad at him. Pete always managed to tug at her heart and make her smile. I can’t stress how much I miss my conversation with Pete, sitting outside watching him tell stories from his past…. he’d cross his legs and fold his arms and then he take index finger and bit down on his nail then he’d close his eyes nod his head ….that’s when I knew he had a good story to tell. Pete had a unique way of telling his stories… I swear I could see everything that he described from the clothes he wore (collared shirts/dress pants always pressed and dress shoes) from the cars he drove to the city he lived in, I could see guys at the corner hanging out drinking soda pop for less than a nickel. He was indeed very fortunate to have lived in his era, he’d always tell me he wished I could have experienced it, if you think about it I kinda did from his stories… THE ONE’S I MISS SO MUCH!!

Well, missing his stories so much I dreamt about Pete this past weekend, it felt like Nanny was having a party everyone was there, I spotted Pete kitchen I pushed through everyone to get to him, this is very strange because I knew I was dreaming because I knew Pete was gone subconsciously but I told myself this is my chance to talk to him, I ran over and kissed him like I normally would in real live, I hugged him and held his hand (strange because I could feel all of this) I asked him how he was doing, he answered back saying he was fine and he was with his family that had passed on, he said to tell everyone to stop worrying about him he was fine. When I woke up it really felt like I had visited with Pete. Now the crazy part of this story is that Gina my sister had the same dream.
I hope I get to visit with Pete again it was an amazing felling to see and talk to him, it felt so real.
