Future Past

[ehowton]

Devastating dream last night simply because it dredged up so much of a very real past. I was with my ex-wife and we were cheerfully planning a roadtrip with Cass - who was bright, engaging, happy, and above all - communicative. I was, in a word, overjoyed. A future of hope and promise.

Dad was there too. It was funny because he and I couldn't remember the order of the states on a US map we would need to cross south of us. We had the northern states memorized of course because we traveled them often, but could not accurately recall the southern state's order and did not have access to a map. It was frustrating and amusing both.

Either way, I awoke in the middle of the night filled with a sadness for all which had been as I was so very happy in my dream.
