Who Is She?

     I think I have been the recipient of a tender mercy. The hardest thing about this mission is missing out on the little ones. They grow and change the most is the shortest time and I like to see that growth. 
     I had a dream the other early morning and when I woke it was fresh in my mind, and I thought about all day long. When I awoke, and was still close to the dream, I had an idea who she might be. I knew it was a girl.
     In my dream, we were at church, and Sacrament Meeting was just letting out. I saw a young couple with a new little baby. I asked if I could hold her. Now, in real life, I would never do that because I firmly believe that a mother and her baby shouldnt be separated. The young mother proudly handed me her baby thinking she was giving me a treat. And it was. Then someone behind wanted to talk to me, and someone behind the young couple wanted to talk to them. When I turned back around, they had left the room. I thought they were probably in the foyer just outside the chapel.
     The next thing, I was in the back seat of the car with this baby. She was so beautiful. She had black hair, her eyes hadnt found their color yet. I could feel her calm spirit and a tremendous amount of love for me. I found myself loving her back. Then I was conscious of Jay telling me to get him a hamburger, which is very unusual, because he doesnt even like hamburgers. As we were driving, and I was feeling all this love, I started thinking that her parents were probably very worried. There was no reason that I should have their baby in a car, driving away from them. I could be in a lot of trouble. She is not mine, I didnt have permission to take her away, and I had no car seat. But I kept feeling this tremendous love and calmness from her. She was very little, probably two or three pounds, and only about twelve inches.
     In real life, I have just learned that we are expecting another granddaughter. She may be about the same size by now. I believe that this baby with all the love is my new granddaughter. She took a few moments of her time to visit my before going to her new body. Grandma Sally loves, you little one. I can hardly wait to see you again.
