Love Will Never Die

On the night my mom passed I had a dream. In my dream was this beautiful angel with large pink wings. The angel smiled and said to me, " dry your eyes child, your mom is tired and ready to go home."  NO , I screamed, this is her home!
The angel replied - follow me, there's something I want you to see.

She pointed to the left and there stood my mom in a field of wildflowers. She looked so beautiful with long dark auburn hair and not a wrinkle did I see. My mom was smiling and talking with my grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles and my brother Joe too.

The angel tapped my shoulder and pointed to the right.
There stood my dad, so young and handsome. I watched as my mom ran into his arms, laughing and crying at the same time. They looked so happy. I heard my dad whisper, hello my love, I've been waiting for you. The love I felt was indescribable.

They turned to me and said "Tell your brothers and sisters to stay strong and everything will be okay. We love you all so very much and we will be together again someday."

I woke up to the smell of my mom's fresh caramel rolls and the feeling of my dad kissing my forehead.
It was at that moment when I realized ... That love will never die.
