Dream Visit
JULY 18, 2020: I had a dream in which an old friend, Jim Mech, appeared. I was 15 and he was 17 when we met in the summer of 1967. In the dream, I told him and his friends that at one time "he was the love of my life". ( It feels weird to say that since I am married for 23 years now, and I love my husband very much.) So, in the morning, I decided to google his name. Up came his obituary from last August. I was crazy about him for many years as a young person. I have often wondered how his life turned out. I am feeling quite saddened to find out that he died, even though I haven't seen him for 46 years. From the guest book entries that I read, it sounds like he had a good life up at Mount Baldy. He still was funny, kind, loved the outdoors and animals. Same Jim I remember. What I take from the dream is that I guess he figured it was time I found out that he is now in the spirit world and he still remembers me with affection. It took me a LONG time to get over him, but I did and I moved on. I had to in order to survive. The last time I saw him I was 4 months pregnant with my first daughter. I was blessed with two amazing daughters, became a teacher, artist, dancer and musician, and am very happy. Grateful for the dream visit and all the memories it brought up.
