Unexpected
I can tell you all about how my husband came to receive $20,000. My dream last night wasn’t any stranger than usual. I was walking alone in a park looking at trees and feeding pieces of bread to the ducks along the bank of the pond. As I continued my stroll I came across a playground where children were playing, laughing, running, and just having fun the way kids do. I had always entertained the thought of someday having children but realized that a gay man is not always successful in achieving parenthood. In my dream as the children were playing, one of them came over to me. She was about six years old with long braided brown hair and an adorable smile. She did not stop until her embrace had her arms wrapped around my legs. She looked up at me and said “Hi Daddy”. My heart melted inside me because I knew I had recognized her all along from previous dreams I’ve had. I bent down and I hugged her like I had been away on a long trip and she missed me desperately. As I felt this child in my arms I saw the surroundings disappear and my arms were once again empty.
