A Seeping Heart

March 29, 2010

I had another vivid dream last night, though Daniel did not show up in it directly.  I was on the phone talking to the mother of one of Daniel’s Whitworth friends (Justin’s mother Debbie) and describing to her Carol and Hannah’s trip to Washington state this week, and the opportunity they will have to view the quilt square we created for the donor organ quilt at the transplant program offices. 

Every time I tried to explain what this visit meant, I sobbed uncontrollably and struggled to get any words out.

As I awoke from this dream, I had a vivid sense that this sorrow is slowly seeping out of my broken heart.  I don’t know how else to describe it – the image in my mind is that of a cracked container of liquid, and the liquid is slowly seeping out.

I still can cry uncontrollably in my dreams but in my waking moments, I feel like I am simply slowing leaking this sorrow out of my heart.
