I’m talking to Court

Today was such a beautiful day!  Low 60’s and super sunny.  My 4-year-old niece Camryn was riding on her scooter that I gave her for her birthday a couple of weeks ago.  Lindsay said that she was riding along, when she says “Is this a shortcut?” and Lindsay answered her and said “Yeah” and then Camryn tells her “No, I am talking to Courtney”.  Taking Camryn out on her scooter is something Courtney would have done if she was still with her. 

Camryn woke Lindsay up the other night after having a nightmare that Barney the dinosaur was attacking her.  I would be scared too!   Lindsay told her to try to go back to bed and think of something that she loves.  She told her to think of her favorite thing when going to bed and she would have good dreams.  Lindsay asks her what her favorite thing is, and she replies “Courtney”.  Lindsay sends her back to bed and tells her that Courtney will protect her and keep over her.  The next morning Lindsay gets up to wake Camryn and hears a little bell ringing from her Christmas tree in her living room.  The only problem is that she doesn’t have anything on her tree that would ring like that.  Lindsay thought to herself, that it must be Courtney letting her know that she was watching over Camryn last night.  Once Lindsay woke up Cammie, she asked her if she had anymore bad dreams and she told her “Nope” and that she slept good. 

Thanks Court! 

See, she’s still watching over her nieces and nephews.  Just like she always loved to do. 

Love, Megan

    I woke up thinking about Courtney and just hoped there would be an update, a story, something wonderful to learn about Courtney posted here this morning. And there was!!

    Thank you so much for continuing to share these memories of Courtney and all the little ways in which you still feel her presence in your lives. I miss her dearly and will continue to follow this blog for as long as you keep it, always looking forward to another memory you all have been so gracious to share with those of us who never had the pleasure of meeting Courtney face to face.

    Kevin and I continue to wish your family peace and comfort.

    Love,

    I had a dream a few nights ago that makes me think of this entry. Court and I were hoping to meet some time this year, as several of us were. It must’ve been that time in my dream, because, I was at the park with my girls, Kaylyn and Natalie, ages 7 and 4. I looked over and Court was pushing Natalie in the swing. I said, to Court, “hey, Sweetie, SO good to see you!” and she just smiled and whispered, “They’re so cute, Cindy.” Totally simple, totally random, that was the end. But it touched me. Love you, Court, and I’m glad you got to finally see my girls, too, since I suck at taking enough pictures lol. 🙂
