Story #26 - What Dreams May Come

My mother fled with my family to Vietnam in the 1970s during the Cambodian Genocide. She was separated from her mother, who soon passed away from falling ill without readily available medical resources. Without knowing that my grandmother had passed away, my mother dreamt about her a few days later. She told my mother that she was pregnant with a girl and told her what to name her. Unbeknownst to her, my mother was pregnant with my sister at the time and gave her that name. That was the last time my grandmother came to my mother in a dream.
