Last Night as I was laying with my daughter asleep, I was visited by the most important person in my whole life in my dreams, my 2nd mom. She sat down next to me and talked with me for what seemed like hours. I asked her several things I wanted to before she passed away a couple of months ago.
I asked her if she ever regretted taking me in, I want to know if she ever regretted letting me join the Army, or if she ever regretted letting me join Academi. Mom looked at me smiling and said there is only one thing she regrets. That was not being able to tell me how proud she was of me because of the man I turned out to be. I woke up with my pillow soaking wet and continued to cry for 20 minutes. I miss her so much and love her forever.
I'm sorry everyone, I had to post this. People tend to forget dreams in a few hours or lose parts of them, this is the first time I have seen her face since she passed away 2 months ago. I love you mom now and forever.
