I had the strangest dream last night. I fell asleep sad and lonely, wishing I knew if I was doing the right thing, and if I could really do it. And I dreamed of home. I dreamed of my loved ones; my grandma, my mom, my dad, Jamie, Erik, my cousins, Chiho, and an assortment of friends whose faces now blur as I recall. And I dreamt of kitties. I was ( Read more... )
