The Mennonite - The Dream CGW
Daniel awoke in a frightened state; his whole world was gone in a flash everyone he held dear to his heart were gone. He hollered out loud as he could NO! Jonah sat up in bed startled and asked; Daniel what's wrong 4:35 am in the morning? They're gone I can't believe they are gone; Jonah. Daniel will you settle down and tell me who's gone and what happened. Jonah; Daddy and Poppa are gone you know that, they died in the plane crash when they decided to go on a Vacation to Cancun because Daddy didn't want to drive there again.
Daniel they aren't dead they are asleep, they leave here tomorrow at 2:00 pm to catch their flight at 4:00 pm. No; Jonah they are dead the Officer came to the door and told me that their flight on Tropic Air crashed at 4:35pm and all on board were lost. Daniel; you had a nightmare if you don't believe me go check their room for yourself and see.
Daniel got out of bed and slipped on some trainers and opened their bedroom door and there stood David crying; what's wrong champ asked Daniel. They can't leave I don't want to lose them answered David. They were startled as the front door opened; It was Beth when saw the boys standing there together she said; don't tell me you had dreams also about Daddy and Poppa. Jonah spoke; let's go check on them, as the kids checked on their parents sleeping in their bed they were relieved but still worried.
Beth headed to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee; there wasn't any way they would be going back to sleep. I stepped out of the bedroom and asked them what are you kids doing up so early, we have a flight in less than 12 hours to catch. Beth honey what are you doing here this time of the morning, you should be home asleep with your family. Suddenly there was a knock at the door I answered it and there stood Adam and Makayla, he grabbed me and hugged me as hard as he could and said; I don't want to lose you and Daddy.
I was shocked at what Adam said; and invited them to come in and have a cup of coffee and I would get Micah up so we could discuss what was going on.
I was getting worried as I went to wake up Micah from his sleep, when I entered the bedroom Micah was sitting up on the side of the bed and asked what's going on out there so darn early in the morning.
It's 5:00 am so it's not that early Micah. The kids keep talking about losing us and they are very upset about it. I believe we need to listen to them and hear them out. Micah grumbled and said; let's go hear this so I can get some rest before the flight.
Daniel started out and said; you can't go on the trip, I can't lose you both. The Captain of the local police patrol stopped by and informed me that at 4:35pm the flight that you were on from Tropic Air went down and there weren't any survivors.
Daniel was next; I was standing watching you take off and the Angel Lady was standing there with me and she didn't want you to get on the plane. When you took off the skies turned dark and she began to weep crystal tears and said; everything would end for us.
Beth was next she started out that like Daniel, the Angel Lady came to her in a dream, she showed her sitting in a chair with Galen on one side and Seth standing on the other and she was holding a new baby in her arms and we were there standing next to each other. Suddenly the room grew dark and the door blew open, we were no longer standing there with them and the baby blanket was empty. As they walked to the door they could see the giving community was empty and falling apart, there was tall grass growing up and the mill was closed down. Our world had fallen apart it was gone because we were dead killed in the plane crash, so we couldn't go too many people depended on us.
Adam stood up next to his wife and said; if you go on that flight you will never meet your grandchild, and we want Micah Clayton Gunderson to meet his Grandparents Not hear stories of how great they were. And yes I said; Grandson, it's going to be a boy.
Micah got up and hugged all of our children and said; call the airline and cancel the trip our family needs us here to be in their lives. And if it was so important the Angel Lady came to our children we must be needed here worse than we need a trip to Cancun.
I cancelled our trip and we decided to stay at home and if we went to Cancun we could either drive or take a bus. At 4:35 pm it was reported that a Tropic Air flight headed to Cancun went down with 7 passengers onboard all were lost along with the crew, there had been 9 scheduled passengers but 2 cancelled their flight shortly before takeoff.
