We are such stuff as Dreams are made on...

So today I woke up at 12:30.

I could not believe it!

Granted, I couldn't get to sleep until 5am, but still!

But you know what?

I am so not sorry.

I had a fabulous dream.

One of those soul-warming

bright, cheery yellow

misty-eye inducing

bittersweet

yearn-worthy

dreams.

He was there.

I saw his smile

and I felt his warmth.

The whole family was there along with:

• Disneyland tater tots (I have NO idea)
• McDonald's chicken Nuggets (ditto)
• Lots of Diet Coke (naturally)

He played with the little ones,

he teased the big ones,

and he hugged all of us so hard.

I've missed my Matt hugs.

I know I was smiling in my dream

because I woke up smiling.

How could I not?

He was there.

And he told me he loved me.

Sweeter words were never spoken.

Even if it was just a dream.
