I have to write this now, before I forget it again. I had an amazing dream. I was standing in front of a little cottage that I can only describe as magical. There were flower’s everywhere, a small pool and through the window’s I could almost see the warmth radiating from within. I walked through the front door where I was met with a pleasant warmth and the smell of a home cooked meal. I followed the direction the smell was coming from and ended up in an old cozy kitchen. And in the center of it all was Charlie. Wearing a blue dress that complimented her gorgeous eyes. She had no scars, no tattoo’s and a happy smile on her face that is so incredibly rare.
She lovingly kissed me on my cheek and welcomed me home after a long day of work. Dinner was almost done, so I turned around to the dining table.
Which is when I experienced the biggest shock yet. In the high chair next to the dining table was a little girl with pitch black hair and gigantic grey eyes. My eyes. I swiftly picked her up from her chair; barely containing my happiness when I held her.
Charlie was walking in with dinner and I put our daughter back in her dining chair.
I looked at the two girls sitting at the table with me and I didn’t know I was able to be that happy. That’s when I woke up, because I realized I couldn’t. -Damien
