In my dream, I specifically dreamed about Grace’s daughter, Ella. I saw that I took care of her for a year, but I’ll write more about that later. Having a young child in my house would require me to spend more time in group situations; conversely the people I would be around were younger parents.

However, I don’t know if these relationships would endure after Ella returned to her mother.…
