Hi Wendy, Corinne, Alexa, I wanted to share a dream I had the other night about Brendan. I drove to Niagara Falls because we were having a memorial celebration there for him. I arrived and it wasn't at the falls like I expected it would be but instead we gathered at a calm pool downstream. A river made its way into this glass room, like a greenhouse.It was beautiful and warm inside. I looked around and saw all the familiar faces that loved Brendan and everyone sat along the edges of the river and dropped a stone into the water. I didn't realize we were suppose to bring a favorite or meaningful rock but I reached in my pocket and there was one, from my favorite beach (Egypt, in Scituate where I grew up). So I dropped the rock in and everyone was just sitting around the edges in silence, just listening to the sounds of the stream. My eyes filled up with tears and as I was wiping them away, I looked up and Brendan was standing there with a big smile on his face. He had a black dog on a red leash. It was a small black lab. I know he loved his cats so I'm not sure why he had a dog but I bent down and patted the dog and said, "I wasn't expecting you here!" Brendan through his eternal smile just laughed and slowly said I wasn't expecting me either." And we just stood and smiled at each other for a while before I woke up. Isn't that a beautiful dream?! I believe that we're visited by the ones we love in our dreams. I've always had such vivid dreams that I remember in great detail so this was really special to experience. I think he's smiling at all of us and letting us know that he's in a really good place.

Thank you darling Julie for sharing this vivid dream. It seems that memories of Christmases past are popping up in my consciousness on a moment to moment basis and I'm filled with sadness & longing. Your sweet recollection brings aa abit of solace and comfort. I feel so blessed that Brendan was so dearly loved by so many. To know that he's doing well takes some of the sting out of my heartbreak. xoxo C-

I love this Julie 
I’m a big believer in the power of dreams too.
He’s been on my mind a lot these days, especially after losing Marty recently as well. I am certain B is talking to all of us who love him in his own way.

so amazing Julie, thank you so very much for telling us the dream. You described it so incredibly well that I could feel myself there too! Of course I am crying....as usual...I want to share something magical that happened this morning; so here is something I think is very interesting. I have chronic insomnia and I try to choose 8 hour continuous relaxing sounds on YouTube before I go to sleep. Last night I randomly chose this collection of sleeping/calming music. I woke this morning and was about to change the music and I notice the screen. To me it looks just like Brendan rowing a boat into the stars. I like how the the stars and fog are moving. I could just image Brendan saying, "I gotch your back Wendy, I gotchu....." which he said a lot when I was going through those months dealing with cancer. I'd love you to look at this link, you'll see what I mean. I'm including the photo of him that I took overlooking his secret beach, because the image in the boat has a similar look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EEq9S4BT5E&t=19919s
Brendan and I shared the dreaded sleep issue of insomnia. I could imagine him there as I sleep, rowing us into the stars, his way of looking out for me.

That’s beautiful Wendy. Yes it looks like him...he was guiding you through your dreams. I know this time of year must be particularly hard. Sending you big hugs.
thanks Julie...Yes...It doesn't seem to stop being hard. However I'm so looking forward to see Corinne & Al next week for 6 days. Hugging them is the closest I can get to hugging Brendan.
Oh yeah, I just saw this on my nightstand. I forgot that I wrote this before going to bed last night. I wanted to see if Brendan would talk to me in my dreams on Solstice. And it looks like did! 
Like he did
