My mom recently posted a status on Facebook:
"I dreamed last night of an old cartoon. One of the songs from it is a lullaby I used to sing to my daughter... 'I'll see you somewhere in Dreamland, somewhere in Dreamland tonight, under a bridge made of moonbeams, we'll find our clouds are silver-lined. Each little star is a castle, shining a welcome so bright. Dreams will come true for me and you, somewhere in Dreamland tonight.' =)"
It made me cry. It brought back so many memories, good and bad, and made me really miss my mother. I haven't seen her in 3 years, and I took her for granted to much when I lived in Maine. Now that I'm exposed to horrible parents and awful children on a daily basis, I realize how great my mom was, and how lucky I was to have her growing up. She made a lot of mistakes, but she made them with good intentions, and she made them for me, to try and give me a better future. I love her, and it hurts so much to know that I can't repair our relationship from this distance.
In case you've never heard the song, its from the 1936 cartoon movie 'Somewhere In Dreamland', and I used to watch it almost every day when I was very, very little. It just made me think of happier, more innocent times.
Ugh, I'm tearing up again...
Anyway, thanks for reading.
I'll see you somewhere in Dreamland...
