bury me in this dress

I had a strange dream last night. In it, I went to a supermarket but as I was going in, I saw a free arcade for mentally handicapped children. Suddenly I had a young son and I took him to one of the games and left him there. As I was leaving, I saw the other retarded kids playing games and that made me cry. I was sobbing as I went inside the grocery. Then mom woke me up.

I wasn’t crying in real life but I felt exhausted. I still wanted to sleep but mom wants me to freshen up because we had to go to a family dinner. I don’t think this dream means anything. Maybe it’s the new drug that my shrink prescribed.

Tonight was the “bon voyage” dinner for my uncle and his family. I thought it would be a sad night but we hardly mentioned anything about the trip. I guess in the back of everyone’s minds is the sadness or pain because they’ll be leaving for good. Maybe it’s not only me who doesn’t like to deal head first with saddening situations. Maybe it’s a family thing. Still, we had a good time. We separated into 2 groups: group one being the parents and group two, the kids. In our group, the latter one, we just talked about business, high school and college experiences, celebrity gossip, etc. Really light stuff so there were times when we were laughing a lot. I heard laughter from the other group so I don’t think they dwelt on anything serious.

I’ll really miss my uncle when he leaves. In a way, he’s my father figure because he took care of me since I was a kid. This is according to mom. My uncle never fails to make the family laugh because of this antiks. Will the fun stop when he’s gone? I’m afraid it will :(
