It's been three months since the accident, meaning three months since I last spoke with Golightly. The other night I had a dream about her. In the dream, I called her phone (why? I have no idea since I know she's not available) and she answered. She wanted to know what was going on in my life and when I tried to ask her what was going on with the accident and everything, which oddly in the dream she was completely aware of it, she just said something like, oh, don't even go there, I don't want to talk about it. That's all I can recall from the dream, but I find it so funny how the brain, my brain to be exact, can recall such minuscule details, like a person's voice, especially one I haven't heard in a while, down to the inflection in the way the person speaks, tone and everything. Talking to Golightly in my dream was exactly how I remember it in real life. Everything. It made me sad waking up from it, only to realize it was just a dream and I couldn't actually pick up the phone and call her.
I miss my friend so very much. There's so many little things I want to talk to her about. It's nothing important, nothing serious, but just those little things I want to talk over with my friend, just to get her reaction, just to see what she'll say. I really want her to snap out of the coma, but the thing is I'm not too sure she'll be our same Golightly. I guess that's the part where I (we) have to have faith in God. Are there still miracles in our modern world? Is it really possible for her to wake unscathed from the whole incident? It's really hard to sit here and not question God and how He can fix this, but I find myself doing it a lot. I just continue to wonder if I will get my good friend back.
As for her status, the latest is "Golightly is making improvements everyday. She continues to track people around the room and she seems to love having her eyes open most of the day now. It is still up in the air as to where Golightly will eventually be placed or what facility will accept her. With everyones continued support though Golightly has made great strides recently in her improvements. We'd like to keep stimulating Golightly to keep her brain reactive and functioning, as it will help with her healing."
Let's stay hopeful.

I miss her too. Sometimes I catch myself hoping there will be a new post from her.
Me too. I cannot remove her blog from my favorites and every once in a while I click on it, hoping...
((HUGS))
It's tough to miss a friend and then not be able to talk to them. I think it's neat you were able to remember your dream of her, including her voice and inflections....she's still with you even though you can't talk with her.
Glad to hear she is making improvements....and yes, miracles do still happen in the modern world...we just have to keep the faith that they do. *wink*
Hi,
Just a random blogger passing through (you don't know me).
I read through and found the point where you report your friend's accident (March 15th), and you have a link to her blog, where the last entry is March 12th. Very unsettling to go there and see her interrupted, unfinished, on-hold life.
I believe in miracles. My wife's brother has been told he's not going to make it (multiple problems from not taking care of himself when he was 400 lbs, including diabetes, kidney failure, and lots of other stuff). Now his flesh has started dying and turning black, and it's gone from his toes to his waist.
But my daughter "sees" things, and she sees what will happen if he doesn't make it (his 18-year old daughter, already a terror, will flip out; his wife will lose her moral compass; and his dad will lose his will to live), and she believes she's been told that God will heal him, if he believes and fights for it. We've received supernatural confirmation from other quarters as well.
God heals. He's sovereign and doesn't always choose to do so, but miracles are His business, His way of doing things.
I will pray for your friend. Continue praying for her. Continue asking other people to pray for her.

I miss her too. I was just a reader, not a real live friend, but it is a void and I pray for her.
I bet she's talking with you in her dreams, too : )
In the meantime, I keep praying for her.
Sorry for your loss. Have you been to visit her? I noticed you've been out of town and at several parties but no mention of actually going to visit her
I miss her too. I sometimes go to her blog, thinking she will have posted something and this has all been a very bad dream.
How's The Cowboy doing during all this?
