And I still reach for the phone to call her. <br /><br />I have longed to dream about her and finally, a month or so ago, I did. She was happy and radiant, here on the steps of our house (which she never saw, but would love). She had with her one of my dear dogs who also is dead, and she, Kaja the dog, was also healthy and happy. The dream comforted me so very much. carrie jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873372843804612246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414751555965307423.post-22138803754603157342013-03-15T18:01:36.936-07:002013-03-15T18:01:36.936-07:00Lori, thank you again.
