Ask my mom how she is today
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies she never did before.
From now until she dies, she’ll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is and because she can’t explain, She will tell a little lie because she can’t describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how is she, She’ll say “I’m alright.”
If that’s the truth, then tell me, why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how is she, she seems to cope so well.
She didn’t have a choice you see nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is, “I’m fine, I’m well, I’m coping.”
For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth just say your heart is broken.
She’ll love me all her life, I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she she’ll lie and say she’s fine.
I am here in Heaven. I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don’t listen, Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again, we’ll smile and I’ll be bold.
I’ll say, “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom with all the lies you told!” -unknown

Tuesday, June 9, 2009 6:00 PM CDT I woke this morning to the most beautiful perfect dream...
I believe God knew that I really needed this since I have been really blue lately. There have been some bittersweet events going on that have made me miss my sweet baby Dakota even more than I already do everyday of my life. May 13th would have been Dakota's 18th birthday...as hard as I try, I can't even begin to imagine him 18 years old. Also this past week would have been Dakota's Graduation, had cancer not come into our lives. My heart fills with all the "what if's". What would he look like now? Would he still want to stay at home and go to a local school (so he could be near his momma) or would he and Jake follow up with their dreams of going off to school and be roommates :) Dakota loved talking about how he and Jake would be friends forever and live together until they got married then he talked about buying the house next door to our home so he could always be close to me. I find myself daydreaming many times about him still being here. Sometimes in my daydreams he is still sick and we just spend beautiful time together like we did, and then at times I daydream about him being well and imagine him walking in the door long enough to give me a quick kiss and to tell me he is going to hang out with his friends. I imagine myself telling him to drive safe and don't make bad choices that could get him in trouble or worse yet hurt. I guess I will always have these what if's in the back of my mind but when special milestones that he should have been here for come along the thoughts really seem to surface and make me so sad for what is no longer going to be. I just miss him so much!!! Along with all these feelings and emotions swimming in my very busy head I have also been trying to focus on the big party..."Dakota's Spectacular Day On The Lake"!!! This one event brings so much joy because it is the one thing I feel that I can still do for Dakota....to honor his fight, to honor his memory, to honor his life! I let myself get really stressed out about the party only because I want so bad for it to be perfect. It has to be truly be SPECTACULAR not only because that's what I would have done for Dakota but it's what all these wonderful kidz coming deserve!!!!!! Anyway's I think God needed to remind me to slow down in my thoughts and that He is still in control and just have faith and all will be fine, so he gave me this beautiful dream to fill my heart with some much needed peace today, Thank you Lord :)
***************A Glimpse Into A Beautiful Day**********************
There were so many people...all who have ever touched our lives, loved ones that we have lost, and yes Dakota. Although he was sick he looked wonderful! He was his tiny little self with his beautiful smile that you could not help but smile when you saw it. The air was with filled with such joy and happiness. It was a "memory" making day that with the light breeze all you could feel was the laughter and love that God had blessed us all with. We were on an old boardwalk that had sits lined up all around and in those sits were familiar faces of friends and loved ones each sharing happy stories and just having fun. Below the boardwalk was a beach were some of the kids were playing. The water was a shade of turquoise I had never seen. The water had sparkles in it that looked like tiny diamonds floating. My nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and my daughter Samantha were all playing in the water. It was wonderful to see Krystle (my niece) since she passed away in 1996. The kids were playing in the water with big sea turtles and dolphins then along came this HUGE whale which at first frightened all of them however it only took a second for them to all realize he was their to play with them. The whale, dolphins and turtles gave all the kids rides on their backs...again the air was filled with wonder, happiness, fun ,and joy. Dakota was up on the boardwalk laying on one of the benches with his head laying in his brothers lap. They were laughing so hard and cutting up about all these fake tattoos Dakota and Justin had on their faces. Every time Justin would put a new one on his face Dakota would put two on his own...it was a silly game they were playing and I could hear Dakota's giggle as if he were really right beside me. Justin was being the wonderful big brother that Dakota had wanted. Ted, myself, our friends, family, my mom, and Michael were all taking in the moment of hearing Dakota's infectious laugh....we were making a memory to cherish. Then I woke up. I wish it would have lasted longer, I wish it was not just a dream however it left me with such peace and in my heart dreams are the closest I have to being with Dakota. Thank you Lord for this beautiful gift. I will remember it always but when I am feeling way to blue again please feel free to send me another precious dream such as this.
