He dreamt that we were walking over an overpass. He turned away from me for just a moment, and when he turned back to me it was too late. I had been struck by a car and killed. Fast forward. He is home alone with Arielle. He says the house is empty. He says she is sad that I am gone. He falls asleep, and I come to him in his dreams. These are bittersweet encounters. He is glad to see me, but knows he's only dreaming. In these dreams I try to assure him that everything will be okay, that he is doing a good job with Evangeline. "It's so unfair for her that you are gone", he tells me. He wakes up, Evangeline is beside him, and I am not. He cries. He sleeps. He wakes. Days go by. I come to him in dreams, but not every night. Every visit is the same, and always ends in tears.
He woke up crying. 2:33 AM 11/08/10
