Mother Dumas Says: Mind your mouth

My Grandmother, Mother Dumas, in the late 80s

Y'all! Guess who visited me for my 45th birthday?! That's right - my grandmother!!! And she has a message y'all. It's been a few years since I dreamed about her, but when I do, it's powerful! So last night I had a very rich dinner (rigatoni bolognese, brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze & bacon bits, lots of focaccia with garlicky dipping oil and creme brule, as well as a hot toddy with non-alcoholic whiskey). About 4am I woke up with horrible acid reflux.

Eventually I fell back asleep and dreamed Grandmother was visiting me at the office of our family business. I was hugging her so tightly and telling her how much I missed her. Still as I write this, I can feel her body against mine. We needed to leave so she decided to wait at the front door while I was getting things together upstairs; when I went to check on her because I was taking so long, she was just fine, chatting with strangers who walked by. (that tracks)

Then we were at the airport; she had somewhere to go. I was still velcro’d to her body as we walked through the airport hugging...and she was STILL talking to strangers! LOL That's how the dream ended.

As I was making my morning tea today, I heard her message: "Mind your mouth, cher. What goes in AND what comes out".

But I'm sharing this with y'all because Grandmother was literally talking to strangers in the dream! So, for whoever needs it...
