Just Dreamin’
A girl can dream, right? Today is April 4th and a
year ago, was the last day Dad talked to me.
On April 3, 2011, he was intubated to let his lungs rest, from there he had several strokes on April 4th and passed away on April 6th. Here is a pic of the USA Sports page from April 6th. Dad loved to read the USA paper.

Before he passed, we agreed that he would move in with us
and we were both looking forward to it. He would help me around the house and
he knew there would be a “few rules” like cooking curry. I’m not sure how us
rooming together would of worked, but I’m dreamin’ that I would come home to
clean house, dinner ready and us watching DWTS, American Idol and America’s Got
Talent….. just dreamin’.
What if I had a another child? I would of loved Robert to have a brother or sister, really hoping for a sister that I could mold in my image … haha. She could be my running buddy. If only … and just dreamin’.
Robert is 26 and one of my dreams may come true, he’s looking to move back to Ankeny … soon …really soon.

I hear the mega
million lottery is up to 500,000,000. Wow, what I could do with that money. I
remember Dad being asked what he would do if he won the lottery, buy a car?
Back in the day he said “he would get a nice fridge with ice and water on the
door”. He was so piratical. Me, I would pay off my house, get a good lawyer to
manage my finances, take my entire family on a big trip to Europe, and take my
Dad back to Trinidad. Work, yep I probably would work for a few more days. Oh
my, I will by a few tickets today …. Just dreamin’.
I want a scooter, period! My work-mate got this sweet ride
last week and I’ve been seeing a few here and there. I want a scooter ….
Somebody …. Gift me a scooter so I won’t have to say … just dreamin’.
On this Good Friday, April 6, 2012, I will do a little more
than “just dreamin” to remember Dad. I will walk the cross at noon, go to mass,
light his memory candle, gift his suits to a local charity, drive the Jeep and
most of all, do a lot of crying. Then I can check off his 1 month, 6 month, his
birthday and his 12 month passing. Going forward I only have to remember his
birthday and April 6th. 
Now I can go back to … dreamin’ ……………. Just dreamin.
