Dad's dream about you

I know this was really you in Dad's dream, that is why I wanted to record it (in his words, by the way):  He posted this at 10:18 pm (10/18-your birthdate) on Saturday, 1/23/2016

After 5 months and 3 days since Hayden Smith accident I finally had a real dream about him just now. I woke up about 3:00 am and couldn't fall back to sleep so I needed a late afternoon-evening nap. I say "real dream" because I had one a couple of months back where he and Hope Smith were down the sidewalk a bit like we were going somewhere (to eat I'm sure)-he added happy face emoji with sunglasses here- and they were ahead like often before, but I had no verbal interaction with him at that time/dream. Tonight I just dreamt that Hayden, Andrea Hartman Smith, Hope, Carter Smith and me were inside a building (like a dimly lit warehouse) and Hayden approached us all and gave us really good hugs and made sure we knew he was alright. He said he couldn't stay because he had to get back. I was not sad or crying but I did still miss him and recognized he was gone from us. His hug felt so real. I wrapped my arms around his tiny, but firm waist. In real life Hayden was about 5 inches taller than me so when we previously hugged here on earth my forehead would be at his chin level. In my dream he had his shirt off and my head laid on his chest. It was as if he was the parent figure comforting me and assuring me everything was fine. I looked up into his beautiful eyes and they were not sad, just concerned for me. He hugged everyone again and said he has to go like it wasn't something to be sad about as if a son or daughter was going off to war, but it was more like, this is the next leg of his journey and it was normal. After he was done hugging everyone he looked back for me and hugged me again (not because I'm more special than my family), cupping my head and gently pulling it to his bare, warm, smooth chest, just as a parent does for a hurting child to calm and soothe him or her. I think Hayden knew/knows I'm still in terrible pain and that was why he did that. I felt safe and at peace in his arms.


Thanks for helping Dad! Love you!
