"Every Happy Dream That You Dream Will Come True"

The man was receiving CPR and his situation was not looking very hopeful. 
Peter Pan said, "Okay, he's me."
Peter Pan went away and before me appeared a person, a different version of Peter Pan, three times his age (Peter Pan).
Prayer request was sent. 
Peter Pan returned. 
The children showered him with love and affection. 
I believe Peter Pan saved the man's life. 
Does Peter Pan realize he saved the man's life?
Or does he just think, damn, that hurt, what did I ever do to deserve this?

My Darling Sweetheart

"I know you've most likely received the next wedding dress. It's quite delicate, isn't it? You're most likely also wondering why I've received another wedding dress from my grandmother. She gave it to me with a note.

'My Dear Lilli,

   As you might have realized, this dress has shrunk in size comparison to the last one. As I give it to you, I remember wearing it after what seemed like a long storm of grief. It was as if I stood as a new person. Freed from anything and anyone I'd known in the past, I remember looking at my love as I walked down the aisle, once again.

   He was the same, but his eyes beamed with a new gleam as if he knew bringing me through that type of grief would find us together in that moment. He told me, in our vows that day, he'd marry me over and over again if, in our newborn life together, death shall do us part. I looked at him quizzically and agreed wholeheartedly. "I will." I said. He smiled and kissed me ever so gently. And we were married, once again.

With Love,
Grandmother Westerland'

I hope you think the dress is as beautiful as I do. I was so small dear I never fit into it again after that day. Should it find it's way to you my darling sweetheart, so shall the mending of your broken heart. Believe in true love... & true love shall be your home."

Celebration of Life

I posted a poem yesterday that I wrote when I was approximately 11 years old when my Grandfather, whom I loved dearly, passed away.

"Beautiful flowers on the grave, why is everyone so afraid?
Stop your tears because someone is here to save you from all of your fears.
God is up there and he is down here.
He will save you from all of your fears.
When your time has come he'll lift you up, into the breathtaking heavens up above.
God is with you so don't be afraid when you see flowers on the grave."

We recently saw a man, receiving CPR at Disneyland. I couldn't help but pray. Please, don't give up, I know you're tired, keep going, don't give up, I said to the First Responders.

I walked to a different area and made eye contact with a highbrow. I had hope again. Maybe there was some way he could be brought back to life. My footprints were full of hope.

"Peter Pan" took a deep breath and said,
"Okay, he's me."
He must have flown to "Neverland".

Returning after a while, the children showered "Peter Pan" with love and affection.
"Do you think he saved his life?" I asked. "Yep." He responded.

---

I went to the house. It is just skin and bones. "Jack and Sally".

I've recently read an article about a man (a teacher at my nephews school, a coach for my nieces team), who volunteered to search for a missing person in Mt. Baldy. During the search rescue, his body was found.

The community agreed in prayer this afternoon.
Amen.

Chip

"I thought about the note from my Grandmother and I decided, much like the story of the Beauty and the Beast, to take the things into consideration.

I had been recently told by the Dentist that I needed a root canal.
A channel to connect me to my true roots (is how I thought of the procedure).

Sometimes things can reach people when people can't reach people.
Things like this wedding dress.

Should it reach you, take good care of it, in the best way you can.
Believe, hope and have endurance during moments when life and love are seemingly unbearable."

The Wedding Dress

"By the time she reaches you (the Wedding Dress), she's a few months prior to being 100 years old." I begin to read the handwriting of my dear Grandmother as I hold this beautiful wedding gown in my arms.
..."I remember when my Grandmother gave it to me. She didn't speak much of it, but handed it to me with a note that read:

'...Love suffers long and is kind;
love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never fails.'

When you wear this wedding gown, you will stand in the armor of understanding that in your marriage, will manifest, create and exist this type of love."
