Building a new relationship after my wife's death.

I had difficulty going to sleep last night. Worst night since she died, I think, for falling asleep, it was well past midnight. But after I did go to sleep I dreamed that Jo Lynn came home!

Not coming back from death. No, just coming home from someplace else. She came in and I was doing some household chore (cleaning, I think, but not sure). Anyway she came to me and leaned down (I was kneeling) and hugged me. I could actually feel her and if felt just like it did when we hugged one another. I was so moved that I woke just then and of course ... . It was a short dream. I seldom recall dreams and I remember this one barely.

I was troubled yesterday so I don't imagine the sleeping difficulty or the dream are very unusual but they are new to me. I am up still early so I will be tired tonight. I will leave now for a run. I skipped the run yesterday so I'll try to get in a full four miles this morning to make up for missing a day.

I hope that today will be easier for me, but as it is Mother's Day, I am not sure.
