Day 72 -- Recurring Dream

On July 1st this year, my post, "A Mother's Arms," was about a dream I had where I felt my hugging me despite her being dead for over a year-and-a-half.  Two weeks after that dream, I was diagnosed w/ Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  That dream was no coincidence.  Mom was comforting and preparing me.  Last night Mom was hugging me again in my dream.  This time was slightly different b/c Dad was in the dream too.  Near the end of the dream, I hit some type of button or switch, and the lights went out.  Dad was so angry w/ me b/c when the lights came back on, Mom was gone.

Tomorrow I go to Mayo for blood tests and abdominal and pelvic CT's, followed by a consult w/ my hematologist, Dr. Inwards.  I can't help but wonder if Mom visited me last night to once again comfort and prepare me.
