"I couldn't find you!"

Barrett came into our room at 4:30 this morning.  I think it's been a while since he's come in during the middle of the night because I was shocked at how tall he was standing beside my bed when I opened my eyes.  When I asked him what was wrong he said, "I had a bad dream!"

I pulled him up into bed with us and cuddled with him for a few minutes.  I said, "What we you dreaming about?"  He replied, "I couldn't find you!"  He said it in such a sad voice and it broke my heart!  He wasn't dreaming about monsters or bad guys....in his mind this was way worse.  He was in a world where he couldn't find his momma. 

I cuddled him for a few more minutes and then took him back to his room and tucked him in....promising him that I'd always be there for him.  I love that boy so much!!
