The night that my auntie Verla died I had a dream where I was playing hide and seek with my auntie Verla, I remember parts of it like where I found her hiding behind a tree because I seen her peek out. I told my nannie after I woke up, that's how I know I had that dream. I miss you a lot at random times, it hurts to know that you're gone. - Posted by: Kalli (Niece) on: Dec 14, 2021
