Life after lossing a child has been a big roller coaster ride.

There have been a lot of deep plunges into the unknown.

And then there have been times the track has leveled out, maybe even climbed a small hill or two.

But the ride continues and the path ahead is uncertain.

Right now the track has smoothed out some. Mostly because of the dream I had of Richard. I’ve felt more at peace since having that dream than at anytime since Richard left us.

I don’t why – because it was just a dream. But it had a big impact.

I don’t know how long this peace will last. The roller coaster ride goes on.
