A wide array of emotions....

Not sure what I'm feeling this week.  I had a dream last night about someone from my past that I loved dearly.  In the dream I was telling him that I loved him and a woman in white kept telling me that it was time for me to go.  I struggled with her to let me stay and she just kept pulling my arm down a long white hallway.  I was crying, screaming, pleading to make sure this person knew how much I loved them.  And then it was over - I was surrounded by white and I was alone.

I can't tell you how often I have these dreams...well, they are really nightmares of a time in my life that I'm reliving and it hurts me.  I was never one to really believe that PTSD was a true disability, an honest diagnosis, until I began to live it.  It isn't easy....actually I'd really like it to just go away and leave me alone.  I don't want to remember how close I came to meeting my Maker and what could have happened had He not let me live.  And the dreams are always me seeing myself dying.  It's hard to deal with.

I think God is trying to tell me something.  I know that I was spared for a reason, however I'm still finding what that is.  What I think these dreams mean is that I need to tell the people in my life how I feel about them, how much they mean to me and what I think our relationship is and/or what I think needs to be done to make it better.  That is no easy task.  I'm an easy cryer.  Brace yourselves.
