Last night, Thursday May 08, I had many different and wonderful dreams. But I'm going to share my favorite one. Probably the best dream of my life, actually.
First, I need to tell you a story. I might have the details a little wrong, but I'll try my best to get the message down.
I had a great aunt named Judith, but always called Wif (Weef). She had the best personality and the kindest heart. She almost became a nun, but hadn't made thee final vows to care for the family needs. She babysat all over for our family, even when she shouldn't have. Her family and God were her main concerns. If she wasn't busy watching someone, I would see her sitting down with a rosary, praying away. Later in her life, Wif was diagnosed with cancer. I'm sorry, but I can't actually remember the actual type of cancer; it was either lymphoid cancer or lung cancer, but either way it caused her whole body system to fail in such a horrible way. Wif ignored the pain and medicine and offered it for the sake of a nephew's reversion to the Catholic faith. She even avoided foods in case some pain medications were slipped in. All in all, Wif died a heroic death, and there is no doubt in my mind where she was heading. What would have cleared any doubts about it was the most beautiful dream I had.
I was sitting in my room, on the bottom of the room's bunk bed. There was no hint about what I was doing, but the next instant I knew I was sitting, there she was.
Wif wasn't actually there, walking from the door of the room to the windows on the opposite side. At least, her complete body wasn't there. But it was Wif, alright. Transparent, but with all her features: Wild-red hair, a waddling kind of walk, and a full clothing of purple, her favorite color.
I patted the space on the bed next beside me. Knowing she was long passed away, I just wanted to be with her and talk with her. My body quivered with the excitement of seeing her. As I patted the space beside me, I spoke, "Sit down, Wif." But she wouldn't have it that way. Wif gave me a wide smile and shook her head, always walking towards the window. But there was no window in view. It was just pure white, hazing the walls and ceiling of my wall. I didn't mind; I knew what I was witnessing. Wif had a more important calling that second, and that was God. As she finished her wide smile at me, she turned to the white. Always walking. Pure joy radiated through me then and for a long while afterwards, as I watched Wif walk and get engulfed in the light. I feel certain of where Wif is. And I'm asking her more often to pray a storm for us here on Earth.
Death could be a tragic thing. But the beauty of our end is surreal. We go to God; that is our point in life. We leave this world to God, who is True Happiness.
Cheers

Wow Damien, that was beautiful! Very well written too...I loved it!! Thats amazing! *sniffles*
Sorry it took me this long to comment. :-(
That was very wonderful and beautiful Damien. I wish I had dreams like that..
I can't even remember mine. :-S
Good job!
~Shan
that was amazing. and very very deep. are your dreams always like that?
Thank you, thank you. All I did was just tell it like it was. My dreams are never that meaningful. I wish they were, but maybe not, actually. If all my dreams were meaningful, than this one might not have been as special to me. At least, it's a cool way to think of it.
My dreams usually involve zombies and the end of the world. Seriously!
what do you watch at night...?
maybe that would explain all the zombie - ness..esssss.. :-p
I don't watch too much at night. It might be the 28 Days and Weeks Later movies. That and I am Legend. And then there is also Shaun of the Dead. But I haven't seen those recently!
haha. oh wow...is there something you're not telling us? such as your desire to destroy the world??...
Once you see it once.. it never leaves until your like.. 25. Thats when you start paying all your bills, jobs, marriage, or whatever.
Unless your just gonna be selfish and watch them all again when your 25.. then your stuck until maaaybe 32.. then... yeah.
Ha! I'll watch it while I'm 60
umm.. k.
good luck with those dreams then! :D
I never said I didn't like them. :-D They're always different too, walking dead from WWII. People who spread the zombie-ness by bashing your head in. Zombies with Rage (28 Days Later)...it all rocks!
let's just face it shannon...boys are weird. end of story.
I don't think their weird. They are just.. different. Which is okay.
Just a bit confusing. :-D
But fun... when you can understand what the heck their talking. Such as guns, video games, horror movies, music.. yeah.
I
Whoa...you girls just can't understand that because they're not filled with pictures of good looking guy or Edward.. :-p
It could be the worst song, but if it was about Edward...you'd love it. I just know.
lol. We weren't even talking about fictional characters!
We were just talking about Boys in general. Thats all. :-D
~Shan
p.s. most music based on Twilight or Edward I don't even like because those people are like... obsessed.. or just creepy because thats all they think about and have no life. :-p
what a sec...there is music about twilight? uh, that's a little...weird. i guess. wow.
well, guys are weird, but some are cool. damien, you're cool. but sometimes, like this for example, i don't understand how you can be attracted to that kind of stuff. but i have to admit, war movies are the best!
Okay...what cannot be understood about people liking zombies? Zombies are cool! They infect insanely crazy, and they make some great movies involving violence and comedy!! Video games I can see you not understanding, because that involves competitiveness, it's phsycologically harder for girls to get that. :-p Guns...eh, they're alright. Bows are funner. And horror movies? Vampires? Demons? Dead orphans that haunt your future orphanage? What's not to enjoy about that? Sure they're not falling in love with humans...but that makes it more entertaining. :-D
Done! Somebody has to cash in his check and umpire for a ball game. Damien has to cash in his check and umpire for a ball game.
Okay, first off. Vampires could SOOO beat up a Zombie anytime AND! a werewolf. All Zombies can do is... infect and make more.
Vampires can actually defend themselves and beat up both Zombie and werewolf. And make more by biting!!! HOW COOOL IS THAT!?
Second, there ARE some video games that I could deal with. Such as racing ones. Like Mario Kart. :-D
But, must agree.. I totally don't get Super Smash Bros. I've tried playing it.. a lot. And I just can never win. I just don't have that kind of skill with my thumbs. :-p
third...... I don't have a third..
:-)
