It was a typical sunny summer day. I was in a pool which was very long. I was pulling a thin wired covered rope. There was a man standing on the edge of the pool encouraging me to keep pulling the rope. I continued to pull as I waded backwards in chest deep water. Suddenly, I wanted to show my true strength so I turned to face forward and pulled the rope over my shoulder as I continued to wade through the pool. The man was amazed at my strength.
Then all of a sudden I felt my right foot tipping over an edge as the pool was getting deeper. I abruptly stopped. And then I woke up.
Another dream with another message.I had this dream this past Sunday night. I couldn't figure out what it meant then. This morning I well understand it's meaning.
My daughter, Kelly-Anne Drummond was murdered at the age of 24 in October 2004. Since her untimely passing, my life has forever changed. My blog will hopefully be of help to other women who are living in abusive relationships. I also will share delightful stories of Kelly-Anne's life and share with you my path as I move forward.

Hi Doreen,
Not sure if you remember me, I am Kimmy's friend Jane- of Jane and Matt, we were in Ottawa with Kim, and worked at Camp Kodiak together.
I came across your blog, and to tell you the truth I'm not even sure how- but sometimes we are just let the things we need to see.
I find writing therapeutic as I journey through life without my son, Noah. Sometimes I have a lot to say, and sometimes very little. Sometimes happy, sometimes, anger, sometimes sadness- always love.
Just wanted you to know that I came across the blog, and wanted to stop in and say Hi. Kelly-Anne is remembered in so many places, and will be forever.
One of my fondest memories of Kelly-Anne was at the Engagement Party that Kim threw for us in Ottawa, at the house where she was living. Kelly-Anne came down for the weekend as well. She made us coasters- painted them, and put our initials, a heart, and the sign for infinity on them. I will always cherish those coasters. Anyway- she helped keep the party FUN- laughing, making the dog of the house do tricks, and talking to everyone, whether she knew them or not, and of course- helping Kim out with the serving and the dishes!
remembering with you,
Jane
