I was debating whether or not I should write about this but since its been on my mind I thought it is best to just let it out. Two nights ago my friend came to visit me in my dream.
Even though I have 2 other blogs I thought it would be appropriate to write on my interior design blog since my friend who passed away was also a client of mine. I will not use her name to protect the privacy of her family.
About a month before she passed away she contacted me to possibly remodel her family room. I haven’t seen her in almost 2 years and was really excited to help her with another project. Before we got a chance to set a date to meet, I got a text from her telling me the project will have to wait, but she didn’t give me a reason. She asked me if she can take some cooking lessons from me instead. I was excited about giving her some cooking lessons and told her to let me know whenever she is ready. A couple weeks later I got a text from her husband telling me she’s in the hospital. Less than a week later she was gone…
I wasn’t able to make it to her funeral but I went to the viewing. There was this beautiful picture of her at the viewing and in my dream she looked exactly like that. In the dream we were just having dinner and hanging out. I had to call her husband to tell him about the dream.
In the Chinese and Buddhist culture we believe that after someone has passed away they have 49 days to say goodbye to their friends and family before they reincarnate. I truly believe that she came by to say goodbye. I told my mom she came to visit me in my dream and my mom told me it is very endearing when someone comes into your dream within the 49 days to say goodbye. I know she is in a good place now and looking down on all of us. She left this world way too early but I know that her memories will always be with us. I will always remember one of the last things she said to me on the phone…she told me I was one of the most talented people she know. I will always remember that and will continue to work hard to be the best I can be.
I will have to wait til our next life to help her with the remodel and teach her some of my cooking skills. Until we meet again my friend…
