The Most Wonderful Dream
Reagan woke up today in a half-sleep daze, and curled up in a little tangled bed-headed heap on my lap. We rocked back and forth for a bit, and then she said the following:
Reagan: "Mom, they dance there. It's so fun."
Mom: "Where do they dance?"
Reagan: "In Heaven!"
Mom: "They dance in Heaven?"
Reagan: "YES!"
Mom: "That does sound fun."
Reagan: "And he's making me a horsey room."
Mom: "What do you mean, horsey room?"
Reagan: "I love horses! So he's decorating a room just for me!"
Mom: "Who's decorating a room for you?"
Reagan: "Jesus! Up in Heaven!"
Mom: "Oh. OK."
Reagan: "How many days are we here?"
Mom: "Where? Here at our house?"
Reagan: "Yeah."
Mom: "Well, today we're going to Grandma's house for you to play, in a few hours."
Reagan: "NO!"
Mom: "You don't want to go to Grandma's house?"
Reagan: "Yes! I mean, how long are we HERE, before we go to Heaven?"
Mom: "OH. I don't know, Reagan. Whenever God calls us home."
Reagan: "But will I hear Him? I can't hear Him!"
Mom: "When it's time, you'll hear Him. He'll say 'REAGAN! It's TIME! Come live with ME now!"
Reagan: "I want to go see my horsey room."
Mom: "When it's time, sweetie."
Reagan: "I miss grandma Fran up in Heaven." (note: Grandma Fran died when Reagan was a year old. There's no way she can remember her.)
Mom: "I miss her, too. Do you remember her?"
Reagan: "Yeah. We miss everyone up in Heaven. But some day we'll see them again!"
Mom: "YES."
Reagan: "I dreamed I was dancing and playing with unicorns. And picking beautiful flowers."
Mom: "That sounds like an amazing dream you had."
Reagan: "Well, one part was scary. There was a dragon, and he was trying to eat me. But the other part I liked. With the unicorns and the flowers and the dancing."
Reagan: "Mom, they dance there. It's so fun."
Mom: "Where do they dance?"
Reagan: "In Heaven!"
Mom: "They dance in Heaven?"
Reagan: "YES!"
Mom: "That does sound fun."
Reagan: "And he's making me a horsey room."
Mom: "What do you mean, horsey room?"
Reagan: "I love horses! So he's decorating a room just for me!"
