I saw my Uncle Chris last night.
in a dream, that is. he passed away a few years ago, but last night he was here. well, his spirit was. my dream last night was one of the strangest and most amazing one's I've had in a long time. he came back for a visit, I suppose, in the dream. the circumstances are a bit muddy, but he was there despite the fact that he couldn't be. in the dream, this made me question everything I believed and made me so indescribably happy. I was led to believe that there is an afterlife in the dream. I know I only had it because of a movie I watched last night and a photograph of my cousin I saw yesterday, but I appreciated the dream so much. it was absolutely amazing to hear from my uncle again, even if it was just in my subconscious. I miss him so much. he was such an amazing guy and so much fun. people like him should not be allowed to die young. his sons and mother did not deserve to lose him. none of us deserved to lose him.
I wish I actually could believe in an afterlife. heaven would be a nice place for him to spend eternity.
I miss you, Uncle Chris.

  1. Not sure if i ever mentioned it when it happened, but I'm sorry you lost him.

    I'm happy you had this dream, though. My Pop died ages ago when I was 27. Also a great guy (like Chris); one I admire and try to be like. Miss Pop every day...great just to talk to. I had a dream two winters ago he showed up in. Odd dream, as usual, but he was there and happy to see me and I could feel his love and support. I felt so good after this dream, as you, and I felt good for many days after. Do you still feel a happy, peaceful glow about it?

    I was closest in age to Chris of all the Ward boys. He was my favorite. We took YMCA classes together to learn to swim, played on the same little league team once, and ran all over 4th and Normandy in general in the day. I still can't believe he's gone. Can't delete his email address. Miss talking to him every Summer on the beach.

    I'm sorry you lost him.
