Had my session at the hospital today and told her about the mistake in going to see Inception.

But it wasn't her who helped me out.

It was in he cafeteria, between meetings. I was having a coffee and people watching when a guy sat down beside me. He said he'd seen me here the past few weeks and that I had some of the saddest eyes he had ever seen. I just smiled and continued drinking my coffee and let him buy me another.

He was there visiting his mother, who some days didn't even recognize him. She was dying, everyone knew it, but he wanted to make sure she didn't go alone. That's when I told him about dad and after that, everything else cam pouring out and I mentioned the movie.

He said it wasn't a good choice when I was feeling like this and then we were both silent.

Then he asked me for a moment of trust and I nodded my head yes and he led me outside. We didn't go far, just over to a pond I didn't know was nearby. And there, we watched as the frost slowly melted off the surface as time sped to noon. And as I watched the water and felt myself drift he told me to close my eyes and listen. He said listen for all those little sounds your never pay attention to.

Listen for the cars.

Listen for the birds.

Pay attention to the conversations around you.

Listen to your heartbeat.

Listen to the footsteps that walk beside you.

Hear them.

REALLY hear them and know that no one mind can create all that on it's own.

Know that if this isn't reality, if I am truly dreaming, then I'm not doing it alone.

I went up with him to see his mother and listened to him make up fantastic stories. I heard his voice, and the slow rasp of his mother's breathing. I heard the nurses talk and a patient shout. I heard a little child laugh and the beeping of hundreds of machines.

And I smiled because things are a lot less scary when your're not alone.

When he said good-bye, he brushed a kiss across my forehead and then on my nose. Then he walked away.

And I turned away before I could see whether he was real or simply another dream.

Sometimes, I think it doesn't really matter.

There are angels who pass through your life every day, filled with wisdom, but hurrying from one place to another.

And sometimes, they brush you with their wings.

That's amazing. Everyday kindness that is not planned is often the most important kind.

Its stories like this that give me hope. Every now and then someone steps into our lives and gives us that little bit of insight that we need to move on.

It sounds like you had something good happen to you today. I'm glad for you, sweetie.

(I'll even not bop you for being silly enough to go watch Inception. Instead, I'll just ask if the coffee was good.)

Oh, what a wonderful guy. I'm so glad you found a friend there, especially when you needed one them most.

He seems wonderful and amazing guy. Those kind of good people are more worth than any riches you could have. I am happy you met him.

And sometimes, I really wish I could brush back, and let them know that it goes both ways.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It's things unplanned that make life worth living.

It's like holding hands. One simple connection that can mean so much and costs nothing.

The coffee was amazing, but that could simply be because of the company it was shared with.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

It always seems to happen that way, and I don't think I want to question why.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

So am I. And next time I go, I think I may have to visit his mother and add to the stories she hears and tell her about the wonderful man I met at the beginning of the week...

[destinee-carols.livejournal.com]

That is amazing. I'm so glad he found you and you met him and he gave you such a wonderful gift that helped you out.

I tend to agree with the assessment that it doesn't matter. Dream, reality - that person reached out and you reached back and you both made a connection. That's real no matter what. It's so great that it happened. For both of you. :)

I'm glad you had something so good happen to you. Just remember you are never alone Luco *hugs*

[mewsgryphoncat.livejournal.com]

I can assure you without doubt that you did.

It's in the nature of being an angel to be brushed back and supported by those they touch... because you let them touch you.

You were there. You listened. You accepted the angel's touch, and in so doing, returned that love and support.

Read the first part of this: even if you don't read the rest of the story I think the first part (up to ~o0o~) to see if it helps :D (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6134655/13/</a)
