Have you ever had a dream that you did not want to wake up from? The other night I had a dream that I met my daughter (I’m 23 and not in a relationship or a father). But this dream wasn’t a dream where I gazed into my future and met future Oscar and everything he’s accomplished. This was more of a glimpse of an alternative life, a different universe. I can’t recall everything from this dream but the one thing I do remember is holding my newborn daughter in my arms. The look on her face, her eyes looking up towards me, my whole world changed. In my dream I knew I would to right by this child, my child, and nothing would stop me from trying to give her everything I can. In that short amount of time, I had envisioned a future where we would be safe. All the love I would give to her. Still, the look of her eyes looking up towards me is something I can never forget, as well as her name, Elizabeth Marie.
