My friends Rani and Shamrock were joined by their brother Tengso this weekend, leaving their mom brokenhearted again.
Tengso
is a sweet boy who had fought the Dark Angels bravely for years,
surviving a cancer battle and arthritis which robbed him of his ability
to walk. But, up to his last day, Tengso met every day with a smile and
always, through his dark eyes, showed his mom how much he loved her.
After
losing his siblings and trying to help his mom cope with his losses, he
knew her greatest wish, to be visited in her dreams by her angels, and
she would remember the encounter.
Tengso, after he was sworn in
as an angel, and had his welcoming celebration, gathered with his
siblings to discuss accessing their mom's dreams. I overheard their
talk, and never being able to mind my own business, I butted into
theirs.
I told them that it is a curse for humans not to be able
to remember our dream visits. Mortal life, for humans, can be a cold,
heartless place where you have to work, from a child doing his homework
to an adult laboring 50 hours a week. To cope with this harshness, the
human mind blocks anything that is not rooted in easily explaible facts.
Young children and seniors are allowed to experience the magic, and
when they repeat what they see, they are told they are senile or have an
overactive imagination.
Because of the darkness of mortal life,
humans tend to remember the bad dreams, where they, or someone they
love, are in danger, then the good ones, where humans visit them. Life
has caused humans to reject the good and concentrate on the bad; for
example, more humans know when Pearl Harbor was bombed than when the US
was ultimately victorious in the war. Bad news always seems to stick.
But,
we angel never stop trying, especially one as determined as Tengso, who
fought off cancer for his mom and the inability to walk for her and
defeated all odds against him. He has let love lead him from his puppy
days, and now that his pain is gone and his legs are strong, as is his
mind, he is ready to go to war—a war of remembrance.
Through grit and determination, I think his mom's dreams will someday come true and, more importantly, be remembered.
Our angels appearing in our dreams make thinks a bit easier, but we miss our furry loved ones so much.
ReplyDeleteOur mom loves when she is visited in her dreams by her pups, although she misses all of them so.
