A dream of my brother

[afuna]

I dreamt last night that I was talking to my brother at the kitchen table, and he was perfectly all right. I remember not being surprised that he was there, but as I was putting a plate on the table, I turned to him and said, "So, Garrick, I haven't heard the details yet. How come you can walk again?"

And he shrugged, as if it was no big deal, and replied, "I don't know. It's all confusing and I don't really remember, but I was in the hospital (something about being delirious), and then I woke up and here I am." A pause. "But I hate the words 80m though. Makes me think of the pool..."

And then I sat there and thought about how I'd been at his funeral, and I wanted to ask the second question, but I couldn't because it might bring up too many bad memories for him, so I didn't. But, as if he knew what I was thinking, he suddenly grinned at me.

The idiot.

It scares me that I can come back to this entry five days after I wrote it, and still feel as raw as the morning when I first had the dream/wrote it down.

Thank you for sharing that.

I still have dreams about my sister. It's hard having the knowledge that this person is gone, but also thinking that you're talking to them.

*Hugs. I'm sorry.

*hugs fiercely* I'm sorry too.
