I told this story to Amanda (atz75) a while back and at the time, she suggested I post it on here. I didn't get around to it then but anyway...Some time last year, I had a very vivid dream about Heath. I don't remember about half of it, but the bits I remember are still crystal clear in my mind -I was at a beach somewhere, the water was so blue, the sun was out, it was a gorgeous day .. I don't know how I got to the beach but I remember feeling a little over-dressed for hanging out in such fine weather, lol. So while I was standing there, probably trying to figure out where I was, I saw him - Heath. He was about 15 or 16 years old but I knew instantly who he was. He started running towards the water and dove into a deep wave. I was not in the water with him but I could see him going deeper and deeper into the blue wave, free as a fish and loving every second of it. It was such a little thing, but it felt quite overwhelming in the dream.When I woke up, that image of a young, fresh-faced happy Heath was engraved in my mind. And I can still see it.Long story short, that is how I choose to think of him today.
I wonder what he would been up to, had he lived.An older, more mature Heath. Hopefully he would have grown into his own skin a bit more, feeling more at ease with himself.
