My Dream...

Last night, I had the most real dream. 

Travis, Garrett and Troy were all over at Lynna's.

Travis was sitting in his recliner,

and I had just come into the room.

Troy and Garrett told me to look over at

Travis.  He had the biggest grin on his face. 

Then they told me to notice how he

didn't have his Dynavox or his letters out.

 All of the sudden,

in his REAL voice............

I hear this, "Hey"...and then Trav's

laughter...his real LIVE laughter.

Travis.Could.Talk.

The dream was so real and I didn't

want it to end.  I could not wait to

call Lynna and tell her, but I didn't

want to stop talking with Travis.

I can't even recall what all he was 

saying...it was just that he was talking

in his voice that I haven't heard in

almost fifteen months.

He was so Travis. 

  I woke up thinking how I still

couldn't wait to call Lynna.......

:(

This dream recharged me and I immediately

knew I just need to pray that much

harder and BELIEVE despite

what we are told and despite

how hard Travis is working to talk

and eat ~ with no results.

Through the course of the day,

I couldn't fight back the tears though.

The longing and the sadness just

set in and I truly thought

my heart was going to burst.

I desperately want Travis to

talk again.  And eat again.

And walk again.

And be himself again.

I.LONG.FOR.IT.FOR.HIM.

and selfishly for me, too. 

Jesus said to him,
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

Mark 9:23

Maybe this dream was a sign from God

for me to believe more...

I don't know.

But I do know that I'm going to

take it as that, and

remind myself how very THANKFUL

I am that Travis IS here with us...

talking or not talking

and allow my faith and my belief

to be recharged. 

MY BOLD PRAYERS ARE

RENEWED TODAY!!!

I love you, Travis:)

And I hope we can "talk" again

really soon...
