A Beautiful Dream Message

Every day I wake to the pain of missing CJ, and remembering he is gone.

Every night I go to sleep and pray that I will see him in my dreams.

Some nights I felt his presence. Some nights I dreamed of him. As a small child, a teenager, a young man.

Last night I had a dream that was so much more.

I was standing outside, looking up at the sky and all of a sudden a falcon appeared and swooped down to catch a small blue bird in its beaks. I felt awe looking at this majestic bird. He was large, mostly white with black streaks through his feathers.

As I watched the falcon dove and I stepped back and tripped and fell back on the ground. The majestic animal landed by my feet.

He dropped the blue bird on me. Then he bent his head and he touched his forehead to mine. In the dream I could feel the pressure of his head on my forehead

In that moment I knew, he was there, sent to tell me that CJ was okay.

See, whenever I said goodbye to CJ it was with a kiss on his forehead. That was my way of saying goodbye.

When I woke, I was filled with an immense feeling, I can only describe as euphoria. It was the closest to joy I have felt since the day I lost CJ. I feel amazingly blessed to have this sign.

I searched the internet today for a picture of the bird I saw and I found it! I swear I have never seen this bird before, but it is exactly what I saw in my dreams. It is a rare falcon in Pakistan. Amazing.
