I woke up in the middle of the night a couple weeks ago and for some reason had a feeling I should open my eyes vs. rolling over and trying to drift back off to sleep. When I opened my eyes I almost screamed out of sheer surprise. Staring right back at me was my son – standing next to our bed! He had walked over to our room because he too had woken up in the middle of the night. It took me a minute to process if I was dreaming or not since he wasn’t saying anything, he was just standing there looking at me. Then he said “Hi Mama, I couldn’t sleep.”
I walked him back to bed and then went back to bed myself, but I couldn’t quite fall asleep. I kept opening my eyes expecting to see him back at my bedside. I think it might be time for a lock on our bedroom door. LOL
