What Would Wake You Up to What's Important?by Courtney Mroch | More from this Blogger 05 Jun 2008 02:54 PM Similar to what happened with a vision of a rollover I had semi-sort of involving Wayne, and the pain in my foot after Wayne's surfboard accident, today I had another psychic connection moment. But this one snapped me out of a funk I've been in and made me realize what's important. Yet Another Dream As you might have surmised if you're a regular reader, I'm big into dreams. (If you're not, or if you just want to reacquaint yourself with what I'm talking about, refer to articles like The Dream: How I Knew Wayne Was the One and Do You Ever Dream About Your Spouse's Family?.) This morning I had another one. In real life, Wayne woke me up sometime during the five o'clock hour to ask where I'd stashed his bike clothes. I mumbled my response. Somewhere it registered he was planning on bike riding instead of running with his exercise buddy from across the street. At some point during the next hour, I dreamt Wayne was hit by a car while on his bike. In my dream, I let him have it for riding before sun up and not wearing lights or more reflective clothing. Then my anger was so intense it woke me up mumbling curses. As I reflected on the dream I knew in my gut something had happened and I just hoped Wayne would be okay. The Events as They Happened When He Returned Home When I heard the key turn in the lock just after 6:30 a.m., I breathed a sigh of relief. When Wayne came up the stairs he said, "Can you look at my arm?" "Did you get hit by a car?" "Yeah. How'd you know?" "I dreamt about it." "You could have warned me." "I didn't dream it until I feel back to sleep after you left. Probably as it was happening." "I hate that you know things the way you do like that." I examined his arm and discerned he might bruise, but at least he'd be okay. It could have been much worse. No Life Without Him Marriage crisis over. Yep, just like that. When faced with the reality of life suddenly without him, I was instantly reminded about what's most important to me. Unequivocally it's him. Flaws and all, I love my husband with my entire heart and soul. Always have, always will. There's no sense thinking otherwise, because there is no life without him. His little encounter today reminded me of all that and about how quickly it can all be over. More importantly, it reminded me just how devastated I'd be if that was the case.

Sometimes it takes something drastic to make us realise what is important. Glad it wasn't more serious.  Courtney Mroch (9169) 05 Jun 2008 07:30 PMThank you, Dale. I'm glad it wasn't more serious too. Could've stood to have another kind of wake up call though! But at least he's fine and my head and heart are in unision once again.
