The crazy thing about dreaming is that even when you know you're in them, your feelings are all the more intense because you know there are no real world consequences. And so you let yourself feel away.
I was terrified and I kept running. A mammoth of a hound-wolf hybrid was chasing me and he wasn't turning into Taylor Lautner. Sometimes they do that, you know? But not this creature. It chased me through a forest, and then it chased me through a theme park (which was actually quite creepy) and then somehow I was running through an idyllic meadow. Once I got to the meadow, Not-Taylor was gone. I had whipped around one last time to check and next thing I knew I had smashed into my true love. And he was lovely. And love was lovely. And he smiled and said that I was lovely. And I was about to tell him about this intense, instant and incredible moment- that I was so present and was he there with me? He was there with me, right?
Then I was back in my room. It was 6:50am and Erin and Mike were running their usual vacation contest and I had to be at work soon. But how could I when I was just in love mere seconds ago? How could I when that moment was so vivid in my mind. So I went back to sleep. I tried to see him again hoping that those feelings would somehow lead me back to him. I ended up late for work and I haven't seen my true love since.

It begins with a daughter's request.
Dear Mom
How are you? I hope you had a good day at work today. School was good for me. I am writing this note because I have something important to ask you.
There is a boy at school who lives in our neighborhood. He is also in grade one but he is not in my class. He is in Ms. Wu's class which is two classes down the hall. I sit on the bus with him. Do you remember that on Christmas he came to our door and he gave me a Christmas present? That is the boy. His name is Tim. He is a very nice boy and on the busride home from school he asks if I can go to his house and play little Ms. Petshop. I would really like to go and play with Tim because I think Little Ms. Petshop is fun. Tim is very nice and now that it is getting warmer, I think I can walk across the street by myself.
So Mom can I go and play at his house? I will make sure to do my homework and practice piano for a half hour before I go.
Love, Katy.
