Dreams Do Come True

I repeatedly have this same dream. The dream is that I am laying in bed and all of sudden Aidan comes in my room and says "hi mommy". I am shocked when I hear it and turn to Craig and say "did you hear what he just said?". We both run and hug Aidan and I begin crying tears of happiness.

I wake many mornings after having this same dream and realize that it was all just a dream and I am back in this nightmare. Then I cry for a little while. I long so badly to hear those words. Words that most mothers take for granted every day.

Just the simple words "hi mommy".

I know someday this dream will come true. I will never lose hope. We've already gotten so far, I can't give up now.
