She awoke abruptly at 4:44 am; she was shaking and trembling to a voice that woke her from her dream.; while she was sleeping she felt a tickling on her hand all the way down her forearm! There was a tugging and a pulling to wake her up! Tears were streaming down her face and she did not understand what the day was going to bring.
Ashling laid there in her bed for hours; crying out to the Universe, "when is life going to change!" She was going through many trials and tribulations at that time in her life. She was getting ready to lose everything she had worked for her whole life. Ashling had always been a dreamer and took care of the less fortunate. It seemed as though nothing made sense anymore. Then there was a very loud knock on the door! She jumped up and it was the mailman with a certified letter from her childhood friend! With surprise and delight she began to smile like she had not in years!
When Ashling opened the letter there was a a beautiful note; it was written as follows.
My Dearest Ashling,
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits! I have been reflecting over my life over the last few years. You and I shared some of our deepest and most compelling truths about our lives. You were and still are one of my fondest childhood memories; while we were in the orphanage you brought me hope. If it weren't for you I do not believe that I would have ever become the woman that I am today! You reminded me to dream, to live, to inspire and to live out my truths!
The day that family came to adopt me was the saddest day of my life leaving you behind. I had a good life and I understand that you were not as fortunate, as I. I was driving down an old backroad and I came upon the most beautiful Weeping Willow Tree and It reminded me of you when we used to dance and all of our childhood dreams. I hurried back home to find my old luggage that was filled with with journals that I took with me from the orphanage. Within a bag I came upon our Little black book! You and I used to share all of our dreams and hopes of what we would do if we were to get out of the orphanage and how we would help others.
I know we haven't spoken in years. You, my friend and soul sister have always been on my heart. I know our lives have taken us down different paths but you are the one who instilled in me to full fill my dreams. The circle of life comes back to you when you give from your heart. Your heart was always the purest of all that I have known within my life. You always gave to me life; as you did to so many others and I want to give back to you.
Within the little Black book I had seen your drawings of the place you wanted to create for children like you and I. You had sketched a beautiful landscape on lots of land and a beautiful home. Within my surprise; I looked around my home and I began to weep! It was everything; just as you had sketched in the little black book! Here it is... I am living in the home you had depicted so many years ago. I have the wrap around porch, barns, lots of land; with valleys and hills that my adopted parents had left to me in a trust. I have done very well for myself in this life. I have more than enough for my children and myself.
After this phenomenon, I began waking at odd hours in the night after I found our Little black book. I would feel this tugging on my arm; and I would awake and you were the first thought that would come to my mind. I began searching for you and I hired a private detective. From my understanding, you foster children and you need a little help to carry out your dreams. You gave me so much inspiration and I know you are doing that for all of the children you foster. I know if you helped a girl like me you can help others become all they were meant to be!
What you began so many years ago is now coming to real life. This home and land that I have was never meant for me... This home that was left to me was what you had drawn so many years ago! You have lived out your vision and you had given me the will to live out my dreams! I am returning to you the gift of life for all the love you have shown to humanity. I am reminding you that you were and have never been forgotten, as we had so often felt!
Enclosed; you will find the deed and a trust signed over to you. In the little black book that I sent along with this letter you will find all the things you intended to do along your journey! The land and home that was meant for your dreams is really coming true! Each year you will receive 20,000 dollars to help along the way! Your heart has always been your greatest treasure and my greatest treasure has always been you! No amount of money could ever repay you for what you have given to me and so many others.
In closing, I want you to know that without you; I would have never known how to make it through life. Thank you for always dancing, dreaming and singing with me through all of my strife!
With Love,
Jenna
After reading the letter, Ashling thought it was all a dream and she looked at the clock and it read 1:43. Ashling; smiled and cried out with joy from her heart! Remembering the song Jenna and her sang, "it's 1:43 and love will prevail; no harm will ever come upon those who share, we are sisters by design through fate and time...you will always be a soul sister of mine!"
The children just walked in the door and were very surprised to see Ashling dancing in the kitchen! She was full of excitement and tears were streaming down her face and the children asked, " what is in your hand?" She explained, " This is a book filled will all my childhood memories. There was a time I used to dream big and had so much hope for humanity. I forgot how big my vision once was but my childhood friend from the orphanage sent this to me; along with the keys to a new home! You see, I told you all you will never be forgotten as long as your pour love into humanity... Jenna and I had a mission that began long ago.... instilling love, truth, peace and hope! She heard about all of you and me and now it's time to believe! Everything comes to you at just the right time for your destiny"
