Ethan is at a pivotal time in his life right now and dealing with some serious issues. Something significant happened to him on Sunday, and Mrs. Johnson told me that he had a dream about you that night.
He said you were 12 again and the neighborhood "gang" was hanging out-you, Ethan, Sarah, etc. He said he just got the feeling from you or a message that everything was going to be alright. Thank you for visiting Ethan in that way and encouraging him. I firmly believe that is really you. Please do what you can to help him through this difficult time and to get his life back on track. Love you boy!
(I don't want to ruin this post, but I shared this Hope and Carter in confidence and then I decided to tell Dad. I started to tell the story and right before I ended it, he interrupted to talk to Hope who came out with a new outfit on. When I threatened not to finish the story for him because he obviously didn't care much about it since he interrupted me, he said he would just ask Ethan or Mr. Johnson about it. I told him not to, because Mrs. Johnson told it to me in confidence and got special permission from Ethan since the events surrounding the dream are very private. Dad said he already had this situation going on with Hope that he had to finish. Hope took the blame for it, but I told Dad that he should have told me before I started the story that something else was going on.
Stories like this are sacred to me, and I couldn't believe how Dad was reacting. When I told him the end of it that Ethan felt like everything was going to be alright, he kind of just brushed it off. I guess I shouldn't have told him. I will have to remember that next time. I just wanted to remember that aspect of it even though it is unpleasant. Maybe I can learn from it. Love you!)
