Mom's Going to be All Right

My older brother who passed in 1975 walked into my dream.

I was having a small yard party and when I looked down from my second floor porch my brother Bobby was entering the yard via back gate. He looked up with such a nice smile and noticed my stunned look.

He said "what's wrong with you?" I said "nothing."

I thought you were dead and smiled. He said "don't worry about any of that, everything is great."

I quickly asked if he would like a cold drink. He replied "no, I have to go soon but I want you to know Mom's going to be all right."

He never stopped smiling and waved good bye twice as he was leaving, the same way he entered.

The next morning my sister and I were heading to the hospital to check on my Mom. My sister looked very nervous. So I told her of my dream. When my Mom's cancer doctor walked from my Mom's room we met in the hall. The first thing she said, with a familer smile, was you Mom's going to be all right.
