Her First Day in Heaven

This morning I woke up early, I’d guess a little before six.  Went to the bathroom and decided to sit in my recliner beside the bed for a while since I wasn’t ready for the day yet.  Since it was light out I put my light blocking mask on and tried to get a little more sleep.
I did get to sleep I think, but seemed to be in some sort of semi conscious dream.  The reason I say that is because I vividly remember it.
I was in my friends office.  His mother hasn’t been well and they thought a couple of times that she might not make it much longer.  Well last night he said he had just seen her down in LA and she was doing very well and they thought she might get to go back to her assisted living facility soon.  (That last sentence really happened and he told us that last night at church.)
This is where the dream starts.....  I was in Mark’s office and I asked him if when he sees his mom does he tell her he loves her and give her a hug like it might be the last time he sees her alive.  (Not sure I would really ask that question outside of a dream.)
And this is where it gets weird.  I was like a fly on the wall or a hovering drone.  I was inside a white room, totally white.  Mark’s mom was just getting out of bed.  She was wearing a white gown.  As she got out of bed and walked across the room towards the door, the gown changed into her most comfortable/favorite clothes.  The white room somehow changed into a cute efficiency apartment.  The bed was towards the rear, the kitchen on the left and the living room was on the right.
She walked out the door to a small porch.  Beyond the porch was a beautiful yard and a perfectly still lake.  There was a mist on the lake and the sun was just rising above the mist.  A fish jumped and made a splash to the right and just a little left of the porch was an Adirondack chair with a perfectly baited fishing rod leaning beside it.
She sat down and casted the hook and worm out into the lake and slowly reeled in.  Then she did it again.  A tall brown haired bearded man walked up to her and said welcome Mary, you’re going to love it here.  If you move your chair down a little to the left near that rock in the lake you will catch some fish.  There are blue gill, perch, and crappies in this lake.  She stood up and looked down where the rock was and her chair was already there with a small cooler with a little ice in it beside it.
She started fishing and caught several very nice blue gills and she put them in the cooler.  After a while she got up to fix the fish.  She carried the cooler to the house and opened it up.  Inside the cooler were the fillets of the fish she had caught all ready to fry.  In her kitchen was a bowl of egg batter and a bowl of seasoned bread crumbs.  On the stove there was a skillet with hot oil to cook the fish.
She cooked them up to perfection and that’s where my dream ended.  It was so real to me as I dreamed it.  Especially whe she looked over the lake.  The dark blue water with the steam coming off it and the sun just peaking over the cloud it was forming.  My mind goes to interesting places, but I have to say, this was one of the most interesting.  I’m assuming it was Heaven.  And the fact that there was no bathroom/toilet.  Wouldn’t that be nice if we never needed to go.
I hope your dreams are pleasant.
