Still Joan's p.o.v
My daughter's name was Dream because I had a dream about her before she was conceived and
born. We talked and walked through the park in my mind. Unable to eat breakfast, I took a home
pregnancy test on March 21, 2008. Adam and me were thrilled to discover we were expecting that
day. We experienced a miscarriage shortly after our high school graduation two years earlier. Hope
was going to be our baby's name. Dream filled in the hole in our hearts that Hope left behind. She
was delivered via an emergency cesarean section on November 4, 2008. Her arrival time was
delayed because the umbilical cord was tied around her neck. Matthew joined our family
on December 21, 2010. I was seven months pregnant when I gave birth to him. I recall My water
broke at a movie theater during date night. God healed my son's poor heart condition. Dream
and Matthew had a delightful childhood and teenagehood. I didn't expect for a brain
aneurysm to kill Dream at age sixteen. She passed away on March 14, 2025. My daughter,
Joy was born at home nine months later. I never knew I was pregnant.
