Kenzie Dream

I

had a very vivid dream about my sweet Kenzie last night. It's been a while since I’ve had one, and I cherish every single one I get. In this dream, for some reason, I hadn’t seen her in the hospital for a few days. That’s never happened unless I had just had a baby and was in the hospital myself, but in real life, when I got out over the weekend, I always took the kids up to see Kenzie.

When I got to the hospital in my dream, I immediately started looking for her. She wasn’t in her room, and that made my heart tighten. I walked the halls, calling her name in my mind, glancing into each room, hoping to see her smile or hear her laugh. There was a mix of worry, longing, and anticipation bubbling inside me—it felt almost like being on the edge of something wonderful, but I didn’t know exactly when it would come. Each step down the hall was filled with that tension of missing her, yet also a quiet hope that I would find her soon.

Then, suddenly, she came around the corner. She ran to me with so much joy and energy that the nurse had to move just as quickly to make sure none of the tubes attached to her got pulled out. Seeing her run like that, so full of life and excitement to reach me, brought tears to my eyes even in the dream. My chest felt tight, my heart overflowing, and in that moment, all the waiting and searching faded away.

We hugged. I held her tightly, feeling every inch of her warmth, and I told her she was doing such a great job. She kept replying, “No, I’m not,” but I could see her effort, her courage, and her spirit shining through. I reassured her that she truly was doing an amazing job, and we just stayed wrapped in each other’s arms for a minute, as if the world outside didn’t exist. That hug carried everything I’ve ever wanted to tell her—the love, the pride, the comfort, and the longing I’ve felt all these years.

Then I woke up. I woke up crying, but it wasn’t just sadness. It was a mixture of longing, joy, and gratitude. Even though the dream was short, it felt so real, like a gift from her spirit. I loved every second, every heartbeat, every fleeting moment of being with her again.

I can’t even imagine the day when we are reunited in heaven, seeing her for the first time in so long. I know that hug will be the absolute best moment, and I can’t wait for it. Thank you, Kenzie, for visiting me in my dreams. Thank you for letting me feel your love, your joy, and your presence once more. I carry this moment with me always, and I will treasure it forever in my heart.

Even after waking, the memory of her running to me, the way she smiled, the way we held each other—everything feels alive and real. It reminds me that love never truly leaves, and that even in dreams, she is here with me, sharing a moment only we can have.

I love you Kenzie, and miss you every day and I am so proud of you.
