When I was a little boy, I would play outside for hours on sunny summer days and then have a deep and peaceful sleep at night. Sometimes, I’d have some vivid dreams, making me        for a moment. I would stare out into the darkness to see if anything was there and then         over and go back to sleep. I can still remember a few times when I woke up,       out into the darkness, and actually       someone there. It was Mom          over me as I slept. Each time she         told me to go back to sleep and I closed my eyes again, feeling         and loved.
I          asked Mom why she watched me sleep from time to time, but            seeing my own children        so fast, I think I know why. She wanted to catch a moment in time and        it in her heart forever. I just       that she carried a lot of those moments with her into Heaven when she         at only 55.
Last night I was sleeping lightly         I suddenly felt someone near me. I opened my eyes and saw Mom’s         standing in the room, smiling at me. And then she was gone.
Now       may say that this was just a dream, a wish or part of an old       . To me, though, it was       that Mom’s loving spirit was still watching over me. To me, it was evidence enough to know that one day I would be       with her and everyone I have ever loved.
Trust in their love. Know that your own life can be full of     , too. Then joyfully go out and live it with a brave heart and a smiling soul.
