Random entry that's more a note to myself than anything else...

kasaiface twittered about an odd dream that she had about her dog who passed away, so I decided to go back and find the entry I made about the dream I had about nine days after we had to make the decision to euthanize Lily. (Losing her and the whole grieving period in the months afterward was the hardest time in my life without a doubt.)

In hindsight, I find it interesting and almost a little spooky that I had this dream the day before we got Hana. It's almost as though Lily was trying to tell me that it would be all right, and that she would live on in a different way... I'm not saying that Lily was reborn as Hana or anything ridiculous like that, but the timing of that particular dream, and how meaningful it was, is peculiar. (Also, they both came from litters of ten puppies, which is a a very unusually large litter size, and the first thing Hana ever brought to me was a sock--which Lily used to bring to me to play fetch all the time.)

I just read that dream and tears well up in my eyes.

It really was. It was such a difficult loss to go through, so having that dream was symbolic and comforting, especially because most of my dreams are so crazy that deriving any sort of meaning out of them is difficult/impossible.

An apparition of...who?
