People say alot of things in life, but in the end their actions and the perspective they choose to take on you becomes the most important thing between you. That either blooms or dissolves a connection.

My brother (affectionately known as Butchy) passed away on December 1st.

And our connection was blooming.

On November 12th, I woke up from a dream that left me with a profound feeling of love. Aftermath of a dream I’d had.

I lay there in bed, just enjoying the feeling and memory before it disappeared.

Then sat up and began searching the net, to see what the dream meant.

It was one part renewing, one part deeply disturbing. The dream chronicled in the picture posted here.

A few of the articles cautioned, ‘Someone close will die.’ Or warned, ‘You will lose someone’ or ‘Something big.’ Adding to a small alarm trying to go off in me.

I wrote the dream down because my brother had advised me to write down my dreams, then look them up, in one conversation we’d had.

He did. So I was doing it.

A little more than two weeks later, he passes.

Today I thought, it was God’s way of telling me. And I may have embraced it at the time, but in the end I chose to focus on the love which emanated from the dream, telling myself THAT is how I want to feel in life.

Well. May the Lord Jesus Christ protect and keep you Butchy.

Thank-you for being my brother, friend, protector, and connection to life.

Rest in power and God’s love.

Till we meet again…
