"Come here my child." The woman said as i hesitantly moved closer to her. She was an elderly woman i had never met before and just showed up in my dreams. I walked up to her and she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a tight hug. In this moment i broke down crying. It felt so good to have someones loving arms around me again after so long. "Child, I know you have endured pain unlike anything you have ever felt before. But no matter where you go I will always be here to tell you things are ok. You will get through this rough patch and come out better than before." The old woman whispered in my ear as i stayed in her loving embrace. I could feel the strength within by body building as she sat there and let me cry it out. She released from the hug and placed her hands on each cheek, wiping away my tears in the process. "You are very strong lil one and you will only get stronger. I will always be a whisper away" Her voice faded away as i found myself standing alone in the forest.
