I was sleeping the early hours of November 16, 2015 when you came to me. You and I were out in an unfamiliar place, dressed for dinner. We were at a garage where you had your head under the bonnet of our car, tinkering with something minor it seemed. Next to us sat an old Ferrari well weathered, well worn. A young man was in deep conversation with the technician about all the issues, wants and needs of his car. You just carried on finishing your task, not offering your experience to the conversation next to us. You motioned for me to join you inside our car and we were on our way. I said to you, "Honey, that was so unlike you to not Get involved in the conversation?" You smiled, shrugged your shoulders and carried on driving. But I knew what you meant. I felt you saying you had been there and done that and you no longer had an interest, a stake in like conversation, you had moved on from like things.

Next we we were coming home from a trip getting our bags from the airport terminal. We were in our car headed home when I realized I needed something from a bag in the boot. When I opened the rear, there was only one bag instead of two. I went to you and said, "Honey, we must go back to the terminal we have left one of our bags." You said, "Honey, I no longer need a suitcase and it is ok. I am ok and you are also fine." You cupped my face in your hands and kissed me the way you reserved for only special kisses and we melted together in an embrace. And I knew what you meant. I knew you had evolved beyond this world and were only connected here by love now. Then the first sign of daylight peaked through the tree branches as I lay in our bed in the position I used to hold when you lay next to me. My first thought was to tell you about this dream and in a split second I realized you were gone. But I felt such love and comfort from you. I felt like we had a few more minutes together. I felt so loved by you and know that love continues. This was only the third dream I have had of you since you left and feel that maybe you will visit more often now since maybe I can better tolerate our separation? But I recognize it as a gift and I know you like to keep special moments treasured, but please know any time you can spare the moments I treasure your visits.
