Dreams and nightmares

This morning Dalan was having a really hard time. He came into my room in a weeping mess. He had a dream that his dad died. He couldn't believe how real the dream was. It broke my heart that I couldn't get those images out of his head. I quickly grabbed my phone and let him call Matt. I knew he would probably be sleeping, but I thought it was more important that Dalan hear his dad's voice. After talking with dad and some major hugs from mom he was ready to start his day. What a nightmare for him to experience. I pray dad can come home tonight. Being both parents is exhausting.
