“This dream video is one of my favorites it’s simple and easy to understand”

Hello I’ll bet you’re thinking that, this story is actually about “Dreams” actually it isn’t, I thought it would make for a nice “Introduction”, to my Story also, as always I wanted to share some actual “Knowledge,facts about Dreams, in appreciation for those of you who decided to read my Story. Thank you 😇🙏.

I’m going to start by referring back to “June 26,2012" that was the day my life would be “Forever changed” on that day, My Son Brandon unfortunately (for me), transitioned “He died” I strongly believe in my heart and soul that, Brandon will be Sleeping peacefully, wherever that Special place is that the “Lord has”, for his believer’s . I can say that because Brandon knew the Lord and he had accepted Jesus Christ, as his Saviour, when he was 20 years old ,and he was “Baptised”

As his Mother/ parent and a believer myself I made sure that both my Sons was introduced to the Lord, Jesus .However even though I knew this, the pain of having to say “Goodbye to my Son”, was then and is still to this day a pain that, I don’t wish for anyone! Its indescribable, it takes your literal breath away. However, the Lord blessed me with Brandon, for 30 years. We all have a limited amount of time to be here on this earth, when that time is up, then we’re to transition back to wherever it is that the Lord has prepared for us until, “Jesus returns” I’m a firm believer.

Moving along, this story actually isn’t about my son’s passing, it’s about the fact that, I felt as though I had fallen “Asleep”, and that I was having a terrible, “Nightmare” ! Only the nightmare was lasting for a very long time. Then as time went on, things over a period of time, seemed to be getting somewhat tolerable for me meaning,I had begun to “Function”, or at least i thought so.I was told by a very close friend that, I would have to find a “New normal”. That life for me would never be the same as “Before Brandon died”.

Moving on to the “Dream”. It was clear to me that I was getting past that terrible Nightmare feeling, however just when I thought that, my life couldn’t possibly get any more “Sadder”, then the “Bad dream began”.let me try and explain what I mean here. Because of the terrible Death of my Son, I felt as though I was living in a sort of “Nightmarish state”, therefore, to have any other “Major disappointment, could only be categorized as a “Bad dream” because, the “Nightmare had already taken place, and nothing at all could possibly “ Top/ compare to that”.

I’ve learned that, when thing’s go wrong for someone, don’t think for one minute that, you get a “Free pass”, from trouble because of that. Thing’s can always go wrong, again.

You know, I had a First cousin of mines to lose not one but Two children in less than two years. Her oldest Son was murdered,at the age if 21, and then her Baby girl died in the hospital, at the age if 12. So I reflect on that terrible situation, and I realize that, for reasons unknown to us humans, awful things happen and sometimes, more than once to the “Same person”.

On a lighter note, I want you all to know that, I have created a list of “Questions”, I want the Lord to answer for me on that awesome day when I along with many many others, get to meet him face to face. I’m certain he’s already prepared for the “Questions that we have to ask”

I’m sure the Lord will understand, he obviously has a “Sense of humor”, that’s where we all get ours from. Even though, it won’t be “Relevant”, at that particular time just the same, “I’d like to know why certain things took place, that seemed totally “Unfair”. I always like to end my stories, on a positive note. I want to let you know that, it is possible to survive such a terrible loss,of a child (other loved ones), it won’t be easy however, you will be stronger and more loving and understanding as well, for having made it, to the other side of your devastation.

It helps to have a “faith” to embrace, along with the love of family and friends.
