I had a vision last night, or was it a dream? I'm not really sure which it is. But in this dream/vision, I saw myself, sitting on a beach with cool sand between my toes; I did not recognize this beach at all, it was so new. I looked so different, but not in appearence, more in spirit. I had a special glow and my eyes no longer had that empty look I see everyday in the mirror. Instead I saw fulfillment, I saw joy.
Then I heard giggling, the sweet joy of a child's laughter not far away; and I saw her. A sweet beautiful little girl with dirty blonde hair and a face full of wonder and excitment. I laughed as I watched her play and thought how much her parents must love her, then she ran to me, she ran into my arms and called me mommy. I was confused and surprised, I looked into her eyes, I looked into my eyes and I knew she was mine. Oh I held her so close, so tightly. She said "I love you mommy" and I said "I love you sweet girl".
We sat there on the sand playing together, I held her in my arms never wanting to let go, she held on to me just as tightly. I tickled her in all the places I'm ticklish just to hear sweet laughter and to hear her call me mommy. "Mommy stop *giggle* mommy!!" Oh hearing that word filled my heart with such joy and warmth. then she sat in front of me and I saw more features of myself in her. The round chubby cheeks, the nose, the little mole on her cheek. But I saw other features I did not recognize, like her hair and skin tone; who is her father, and where was I?
Then she looked past me and her eyes, my eyes, lite up and she jumped on her feet, "Daddy!" I turned to see who this amazing man is, who gave me such a wonderful little girl. But sadly, I could not see his face. It was all a blur and my vision/dream ended. I awoke not sad or upset that I couldn't see my future love, but happy that one is in my future and with it came a little me...a little us.
And so i wait, until the day my love will find me, until I find him, and I wait for that day when I get to hold that little girl in my arms and have her beautiful laughter fill my heart once more.
