Carrol Last night I had a dream.....a dream so real I woke up crying. In my heart I knew this wasnt just a dream. No.....it was something so much more. I felt this was a second chance. My wife heard me crying...she thought I was having another nightmare. I told her no....that I had a dream about Carrol (my stepdad). He was a great man in my life. Yes...there were times I got pretty mad at him. Problem was I failed to see his side of things. But when your young...who does? This was a man who took a woman with five kids. Married this woman and raised those five kids as his own. Ill never forget whats he done for me. I love him so. He took cancer....the doctors only gave him six months to live. But God took him sooner. One night the five of us went to see him at moms. We all sat around talking about our growing up with him. When It came time for me to go. He raised himself out of his chair. And gave me a hug. I told him that I loved him...and he told me he loved me too. The sad part is....he died the next night. If I had only known that was my last time to see him. I would have told him so much more. This left a void in my heart because I never got the chance. But last night I had this dream.....a dream so real that somehow I dont think it was just a dream. For I was there with him. I felt him so strong in me. I was standing on a hillside. I looked down and he had just gotten off his horse (he loved riding horses). He started walking toward the barn. I went down to where he was and said hey old man.....Give me a hug. (those who know me.... know Im crying now... I can hardly see from the tears) I said I dont care if your a dream or real.... But I want a hug. We hugged...and I told him how much I love him. He said he knew. Thats when I woke up crying. Cassy (my wife) heard me. She pushed me...told me to wake up. I told her I had a dream about Carrol. She reached for me and held me close. I told her that I love her. And to never forget that. To me this dream...wasnt a dream....but a vision. A vision that was as real these words your reading. It was just too emotional to be anything else. So yes I know I did get that second chance to tell him. I love your Carrol. A little side note to this. On memorial day weekend...Cassy and I went to visit his grave. There on his tombstone someone had placed a toy plastic horse. To me that was a sign...I know now I did see him that night. Durl June 15, 2004 youtube/watch?v=J_mzw2MdIFY
