My name is Debbie George and I read the magazine every month and was touched by your article on dreams and wanted to share my experience. I was in an abusive, loveless marriage for over 30 years.  I fell in love at a very young age of 13 years old, (my first love).  Bruce was my best friend’s cousin and lived in another county, so we were not able to see each other all the time, but when we were together, we were inseparable.  We both dated on and off with other people, as we both felt we were young and needed to experience being with others, however we both never got serious with anyone else. One day when I was 16 1/2, my best friend introduced me to this new guy that moved into her school, (this was a blind date, which she knew I did not like), anyway I asked her about Bruce and she told me that he had met a girl and is very serious with her and I was out of the picture!  I was so sad and devastated!  Back then we did not have the communication devices as we do today and it was very expensive to call long distance.  And back then, girls did not write to boys unless the boys wrote first.  When I stopped hearing from Bruce, I thought it was true, and that he did find someone else, so I went on with my life and started dating this blind date full time.  He was OK, but he was not Bruce, and I just tried to see the best in him and tried to forget Bruce.  We got married right after we graduated from high school and had 2 children.  We always fought and he was a big drinker and was very abusive when he drank!  We never saw eye to eye on much and he believed and lived the old “Double Standard” life. On and on throughout the years, I truly never stopped loving Bruce and thought of him often!  I would cry and pray to God that why could I not find someone who truly loved me and wanted to show me happiness!  Once in a while over the years, I would run into Bruce’s sister who told me he had moved to FL and had been married twice and had 3 children.  I would pray to God for Bruce to be happy and even though I was not the girl he wanted, I loved him enough to hope he would find happiness with someone! Jump ahead 34 years, and one night in August, 2006 I had a dream about Bruce.  All I would see was his face, his blonde hair and blue eyes and he was saying, “Debbie, please help me, I love you, please help me”!  I remember waking up crying and looking up and asking God why are you doing this to me, that you know I never stopped loving Bruce, so why are you hurting me by making me dream of him! I had 3 more dreams of Bruce, exactly the same dream and by the fourth dream, I swore I crossed time as when I saw Bruce’s face, he was crying and I reached out to wipe his tears away and I knew I actually felt him and his wet tears!  I woke up in tears and looked up again and said to God, Why, Why!  Then all of a sudden it hit me, my inner self said, “Isn’t this what you have been praying about, for someone who truly loves you”.  From then on I was on a mission.  I had since moved to NY from PA with my family over 11 years before and did not know if Bruce’s father was still alive or if any of his family still lived in their hometown.  I found his father’s phone number in an old phone book and took a chance and called.  His one sister answered the phone and she remembered who I was.  When I asked her how Bruce was, she said “Oh, Debbie he is very sick in FL and can no longer work and he is trying to get on disability”.  She had told me he had severe back problems from an accident he had when he was in the Navy during Viet Nam, and the injury had finally caught with him.  His family was trying to help him to move back to PA and I gave her my info and told her if I could be of any help to let me know and to tell Bruce hello and if he wanted to talk to me to call.  Two weeks later he called me, and we talked for 4 hrs!!  It seemed that 30 some years never went by, and he told me he never stopped loving me either and always wondered what had happened to me and that he thought about me all the time also!!  In July, 2007 I finally had enough guts and strength to leave my husband and I moved back to PA.  Bruce and I have been together ever since!!  We lived separately for 2 1/2 years and took our time and enjoyed dating and falling in love again!!  I never have been so happy, and my children and friends all like Bruce and are so happy for both of us!! All I can say Kim, is that I learned to listen to my dreams and they do certainly give you messages!!  I have never been so happy!! Thank you for reading my story.
