Hard nights rest Until...

Most of the time I sleep like a baby.  I really don't have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep and if something does wake me up its not a problem I tend to fall right back to sleep.  But last night was a different story.

At first I was exhausted so I fell asleep on the couch while the hubby played video games.  I would say my exhaustion was real because he was playing a pretty loud, shooting game and I just kept on sleeping.  Finally some crazy monster work me up. So, I went up to bed.  I fell asleep easy again but then I had the most wonderful dream.  I dreamed about my sweet sweet girl Callie.  Callie was my once in a lifetime dog.  She was beyond special and we had a connection that I can only hope to find again.  She was the type of dog that would anticipate my needs.  It was all about me, Mommy.  I loved her dearly and when she passed of old age I felt the lose very deeply.  I think I'm dreaming about her because we are coming up on the anniversary of her leaving us, March  17th, 2014.



Needless to say when I woke up from this dream I was very upset that the reality was that she is no longer with us.  It lasted for only a moment but you know how it is when you wake up and are still foggy from dreaming a great dream only to find out it wasn't real.  That was me last night.  After that I had quite a restless night.  Woke up multiple times until one of those times it was Zoskia waking me up to tell me she needed to go outside for a nighttime potty.  I let her out, gave her a pat and we went back up to go back to bed and from there on out I slept great again.  So Zoskia, my silly, goofy dog did something last night for me.  She filled my heart up and I was at peace.
