Charlotte sighed. Her dear friend Kay had passed.
Gone. Forever. Kay, are you all right—wherever you’ve gone?
When Charlotte had visited the hospital, cancer had depleted Kay’s ready smile, bright eyes, laid-back humor. Still, they chuckled when supper included peas, Kay’s most detested food.
You can’t be gone.
Two nights later, Charlotte was at the mortuary. Kay wore a sheer, cream-yellow dress, incongruous with her jeans-and-tee-shirt style. She opened her eyes, smiled, and climbed effortlessly from the casket. She took Charlotte’s hand.
The music started. They danced a boogie, laughing.
When Charlotte woke, she sighed again. Kay was all right.
Sad.
Thanks, Cathy. This actually happened to me.
Lovely story and you can feel their humour and close relationship despite the sadness. I’ve lost two people recently and it is a comfort when they are in your dreams.
Thanks, Angie. Definitely true. I did not know what to think of the dream at first, but a friend suggested that maybe “Kay” was trying to tell me something. That helped a lot.
True friendship… gone but not forgotten. It is heartening to learn that people still believe in friendship and dreams to the point that life continues beyond this plane. I hope that happy memories of your friend continue to support the life you shared.
Thanks, b.
The shared humor throughout make it poignant but also reassuring. I am convinced; Kay’s all right and she wants Charlotte to be too.
I have lost so many, most of my aces. My dreams remind me, too- love never dies. Well done, thank you!
