In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.

Cameron's Ongoing Nightmare

Anne's and my 7 year old grandson Cameron, along with his 4 year old sister Carina stayed with us overnight on Friday night (10/19/12) into Saturday morning. After we tucked the kids in their beds, I told them a bedtime story, but shortly afterward, Cameron seemed upset.

When I asked him what was wrong, he explained that he has a reoccurring nightmare about "a murderer who is trying to kill me." As we discussed his fear of this nightmare, I assured him his grandmother and I are just down the hall and we won't let anyone hurt him.

Cameron asked if he could get up and have a drink of water. I walked him to the bathroom for his drink and when I walked him back, he took my hand, and held my hand until I tucked him back in his bed. It was then he finally seemed at peace and ready to go to sleep.

He and I have a special relationship and it is a joy to have him with me. I hope to help him through his problems in any way I can.
