Saturday 10th, March:I went to see Nicky’s new home for the first time today. She has almost finished moving in. It is all very nice and looks very cosy. Nicky had a man in to install an automated garage door. As I was standing outside, watching proceedings, ready to light a smoke, I caught a whiff of perfume.... not a ‘nature’ scent; it was definitely ‘man made’! I was gob-smacked, as there was nobody else around. It was a ‘feminine’ scent, and the man was too far away. I even smelled myself, in the vain hope that it could be my deodorant.....no luck! Anyway, later, when I was standing outside (for another smoke) I smelled another perfume: outside the front door.... Hummm.....??
Wednesday 13th March, I awoke from a dream this morning, and my eyes filled with tears. I had been having a dream about Angel. In the dream she told me, “I’m back! They told me, I haven’t been through all the stages. Look at me Mom!” She took a step back, so that I could ‘inspect’ her, there she was, looking absolutely gorgeous........slim and with her dark hair long and curling around her face. She looked happy! She looked radiant! Just like the Angel we knew before she got sick. My heart was filled with such longing, when I awoke to find that it was all just a dream.
Thursday 4th April, another dream! This time, not mine. Ray dreamed of Angel. She was in our passage using air-freshener (?) [Something she couldn't use, in the last year or two.]She was wearing a pink track-suit when Ray walked around the corner, from the direction of our bedroom. He said to her “Come give daddy a hug”, which she did. She was smiling, and looked very happy.
