Hey, Donuel:

The closest that I can come to your experience is that many years ago when I had cats, I'd have these terible dreams where I was being chased and couldn't run. My feet were glued to the floor. Then I'd wake up and discover that my feet were glued to the bed because my cats would be sleeping on them..

"I'm going to see my Mother
You know she died so long ago
What a blessed, sweet reunion
When I meet her on that shore"

From When I Get To Glory

I wrote that verse with my Mother very much in mind. Her Mother died when she was 13 and Mom says that her life was miserable after that. Her Father was bitter that his wife had been taken from him and it was as if he wasn't there. My Mother was the second youngest, and one of her older brothers was very mean to his sisters. He had a cruel streak in him which I didn't see until I was a teenager and saw how he treated strangers.

But, I suppose that it's true what they say: "Time wounds all Heals." And, "What goes around, comes around."
