Last night, right as I was on the edge of deep sleep, almost as if my brain synapses were firing off the last energy of the day, before they released me to rest, I felt a thought assemble.  It was a voice that very clearly said, “your sister Robin… she had a rough time in the beginning.  She just could not let Earth go, she just could not leave her kids behind.  And then, quite some time later… one day, it was okay.  One day, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned towards us and came home. “

“Now she is at peace.  She is thriving.  Tell them that.”

I wrote this on facebook Saturday morning May 23: A beautiful fat Robin was perched on the challenge caber when I came out this morning. Good morning Sister. Two bunnies were chasing each other around on the sidewalk having great fun. Turned the corner into the field to see another bunny scamper into the bushes. I think maybe we will see the hawks today. Have a great day all!  (we did see 2 redtail hawks today, circling majestically overhead, showing us their spectacular plumage)

Then, right before waking, I had another dream.

Mom, mom, I had a phone call today! 
From who?
From Charlie.
Kate, this is not funny, matter of fact, after the Kyle thing at the beginning of the week, it’s unspeakably cruel.  
Ok, no mom, stop, breathe.  I was sleeping and I heard the phone ring.  I answered it and it was Charlie.  We finally made contact.  He finally reached me.  I finally got to hear from him, the way you hear from him.
OH!  That is fantastic.  Wow!  This is SOSOSOSO great.  I am thinking it was a great call?
Yes it was.  I will tell you about it in the morning.
Ok.  I can hardly wait to hear.
Good night Mom, I love you.
Good night Katie, so happy for you.  For us!
