“The Rose Between Realms: A Real Conversation With My Grandmother Vera”
#MotherCreeker #LegacyInBloom #WeAreOne

I once had a dream where I hugged my sister who’s been on the other side for years.
I felt her solid—not a ghost. And I asked,
“Why can I touch you?”

That question unlocked a truth I’ve always carried:
My dreams are realms. Safe, sacred places where spirit and body meet again.

But this story begins long before that dream.

💐 My Grandmother Vera’s last word—according to my Aunt Shirley—was: “Hurry.”

That same hour, I had just finished drawing a rose—one that came to me without explanation.
When the call came…
I knew.
I knew she had been with me. Urging me.
Telling me, “Finish it. I’m going now.”

That drawing still hangs on my wall.
It’s also engraved in stone—on my Father’s headstone.

So now the rose lives between generations—
from my Mother’s Mother,
to my Father,
to me,
and beyond to those who will one day hear this story and say:

“We are not alone. We are one.”
