Prediction?

Prediction?

A Story by Jessica O.
"

the dream that I had the night before my ex-boyfriend's mother's funeral

"

I enter the coffee shop, wondering how much warmer it would get today.  It was June; perfect weather to walk downtown just as I am doing today.  Only this time it's not out of leisure, it was because I agreed to meet someone here.  My boyfriend's mother, to be exact.  It's only a little cooler in the building.  I look around, trying to see if there was an older woman here that looks like she's waiting for an almost seventeen-year-old woman who happens to be dating her youngest son.  I finally give up my search and sit down at an empty table.  I take out my notebook and start writing a poem of some sort about the blue sky.  "Excuse me," a voice interrupts.

I look up briefly.  An older woman is there in front of me.  "Yes?" I ask in response.

"Are you... Jessica?" she asks.  I nod.  "I'm supposed to meet you today."

"I suppose you are the one that I'm supposed to meet today, right?" I reply.

"Of course.  I can't stay long; I have to get home and make sure my sons are okay.  I just wanted to tell you something."  She pauses, waiting for me to allow her to continue.

"Oh please, go on," I urge.

"I'm so happy that my son chose a really sweet, kind-hearted young lady like you.  Should anything happen to you two in the future that involves marriage, I would like you to know that I bless it right here, right now.  Are you surprised?"

"Very much so, ma'am."

"Well, I must go.  Take care of yourself, and of my son too.  He'll need you for the next couple of months.  Goodbye, Jessica."  She walks away, never to return again.

***********************************************************************************************************************

I lay awake in my bed, stunned by my dream. Did my boyfriend's recently deceased mother really tell me in a dream that she blessed our relationship?

And does that mean that he and I will get married someday?  I will never know until it actually occurs.
