A Dream

From my journal entry dated Monday, February 15, 2010

"It's early in the morning. I just woke up from a dream about Georgia. Mike and I were back in Indiana for some reason. He and Stephen were taking me to a dentist's appointment. While in the waiting room, we heard that Georgia's friends and family were gathering on the IU campus. We had been waiting 45 minutes for my dental appointment and hadn't been seen. All of her friends and family were gathering at 11am, and it was 10:45am. I went and told the receptionist I had to leave. When asked why, I began crying and shared the story of Georgia with her, and bore my testimony. As Mike, Steve, and I headed out to the bus that would take us to the building we needed, we were slowly joined one by one by friends from IU that weren't members. I specifically remember Jimmy Turel. When we made it to the building, I remembered it to be of great importance to me, a place that Georgia and I had gone often together on campus. Georgia's mom was bearing a powerful testimony of Georgia's life. We sat down and listened with great intent. The spirit was strong. When the meeting ended, I looked around and saw that Brittany and her husband were there, as well as Cami and her husband. We embraced each other with great emotion, and just sobbed and sobbed. Before I could talk to anyone about Georgia's spirit that seemed to be so present in that room, my dream seemed to vanish and slip away from me. It seemed to be a testimony to me that Georgia's influence is still around us always, and her testimony is still as radiant as ever. She is still touching lives from her side of the veil, and she still has time to send those little reminders to her loved ones whenever she can. That great friendship can be felt from her still, and won't be broken through death."

what a beautiful dream, Hay. It's true; every time I think of her or am reminded of her, I am softened, and more patient, and more full of love. This love changes my life and the lives of the people I come in contact with. What a great gift she's shared with us.

Dreams are so special, particularly ones like that and I'm so glad you shared it on the blog, Haleigh. I wish I had more reminders about her, so thank you for giving me one.
