My Happy Place

In a dream last night there was a woman I knew from church standing in front of me she smiled and all she said was "Go to your favorite place, a happy place."And then I woke up and I started thinking about where that  would be and honestly I couldn't think of one I just had a place where I prefered to cry.Thats when it hit me like a stack of bricks I did have a happy place and I was always always there (I'm not going to say something stupid like "with my family because family is the people who care about you and who you care about." even though that is my definition of family which except one Christmas day does not include my father, no my happy place is way cooler its like a fairy tale only it's real). That place is in Texas , Dallas County to be exact and on the Tigers football feild right where the stands should be there's a foot of snow on the ground for the first time in my life.Conner's laying down in the snow just to my right and Ian to the left. If I turn around I'll see Micheal tracking through the slush towards us but I don't I look foward still don't think about it, I think about the smiles I can feel on Kaitlny and Cassidy's faces behinde us . Then I finaly notice the scene I'm looking at ,a horizon line that can't be seen because of all the beautiful trees and just a bit to the left there is a path unmarked ,unseen ,unused , everything is cleared away from it even grass. I want to go down but that would mean leaving his side and thats the last thing thats going to happen, they probably wouldn't let me go any way, but I couldn't if I wanted to ,I couldn't let myself pull away from the warmth, his grip holding me here. So I stay wondering what lies past this barrier but something pulls me back here and I realize something strange no one is cold here even though we are soaked in snow we don't shake or shiver in fact I feel warm.
