ADD A MEMORYCarrell Bouchard
January 18, 2019
When Barb & I were kids, we slept in the same double bed. This could be good or bad if one of us crossed the invisible, territory dividing line down the center of the bed. But I digress, that is not the memory I wish to share with you.
One day, waking from sleep, I started to share a dream I had with my sister. She listened intently & then proceeded to finish telling this dream that I thought was mine alone. We were surprised that we had the same dream & occasionally shared other dreams we had together from then on. We were 10 or 11 at the time. I, quietly, meditated on the closeness we shared & wondered what this meant.
Rest in heavenly peace, dear Sister, you've earned it.
All my love, Carrell
