The dream came again tonight. That\u2019s the fourth time in about two weeks. It\u2019s usually in the morning but tonight it is late. I decided to wrote about it instead of chewing it over while trying to find untroubled sleep.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty much the same every time: the viewpoint is right along the truck as Zach\u2019s head hits the windshield and his body – for i hope it\u2019s his body already and he\u2019s not conscious any more because the next thing is his body flies through the air and hits the ground in front of the truck as it\u2019s slowing but it hasn\u2019t slowed enough so the right front wheel rolls over Zach, completing the job.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t see Zach\u2019s face; even the body is sort of a blur. I don\u2019t see the bike or the other truck or the people in the trucks. It\u2019s probably over in about the time it actually happened: 15 or 20 seconds from the first thud to silence. I know there was Micah\u2019s running steps and the driver saying, \u2018You can\u2019t pin this on me!\u2019 But that\u2019s not part of the dream.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s not the anniversary, nothing obvious has happened to me on the road lately. They\u2019re just coming.<\/p>\n
We took a walk today with a friend of ours who recently lost her husband of over 40 years very suddenly. Like Zach, he went from seemingly perfectly healthy to dead within seconds. She\u2019s completely bereft and I tried to comfort her today by talking about losing Zach. I don\u2019t think it helped as much as just getting out and getting some exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
