To those that have lost "little ones"

Do you ever just pray for a dream where you get to see your child? Where you just get to hold them or touch them for just a second? I used to hope for just such a dream every night before I went to bed. I dont as much any more but I was just thinking tonight that it would warm my heart to just see them. Am I the only one?

No - you are not the only one

Many family members of mine would tell me about dreams they had of my son. Right after he passed away, my DH had a dream about him and I cried that I didn't have any dreams. Of course everyone told me he will come to me in my dreams only when I am "ready" to receive him.
Of course, that upset me even more.

I have had 2 dreams about my son in the 2 1/2 years since he's died. I have wanted him to come to me in a dream since I gave birth to his sister but still that has not happened.

I know he is with us always. I have found other ways to make it easy for him to let me know he is okay. Everytime we see a license plate that has his initials on it - we say "There's CJ saying hello" and I blow a kiss at the license plate. It may seem lame, but I can't tell you how when I really need to see them - I see TONS which lets me know he really is coming through that way.

Maybe my son knows coming through in a dream would have me crying (like I am right now) and figures he'll do it in ways that are more gentle. Especially one where I would be holding him. For his month stay on this earth, I only got to hold my son for the first and only time right before he died. I so badly long to hold and kiss him again even if in my dreams.

There are times I am feeding DD and she will focus on where my sons urn is and talk to him.

Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to show that while it may not be in the ways I always want him to come to me, I know he does come to me and I cling to those with all of my heart
