If only in my dreams...

This morning I woke up at 6 a.m., but went back to sleep and dreamed.

In my dream I was driving down Cornwall Avenue and turning into our driveway.

I saw Bern coming down the other side of the street wearing the red coat and blue hat I wear these days of chilly spring.

And she was walking our Puli, Bela!

I got out of the car and Bela was pulling Bern across the road toward me. I was laughing and she was laughing.

I bent down to greet him but woke up before I touched him.

Bela is still with me, if only in my dreams....
