Don't It Always Seem To Go, That You Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone. They Paved Paradise And Put Up A Parking Lot.

Last night I dreamed...

I dreamed that I was a child again. I dreamed that I lived in a lovely suburban home with two parents who were madly in love and took awesomely good care of me and spoiled me fairly rotten and I lived a life of protected, perfect bliss.

Sort of like the way it was.

I woke up and realized that I was diagnosed with a disease that I'd be fighting for the rest of my life, my Mom is no longer with us in any recognizable form, that Monday I'd be visiting Alzheimer's units looking for a place to lock her up, my Dad is a pile of ashes under the ground, and that I had to work a job that I love but worry constantly that The Evil Disease will prevent me from doing (even though I am feeling so much better right now)...

And then I went into Meredith's room and found this...

And realized that SOMEBODY was still living the dream!! (g)

ps. That is my work laptop. She "borrowed" it.
