I had a dream that we had a daughter named Marley. The little girl in my dream was not a newborn, she was a toddler. Marley was also not a name that we had ever discussed before. Then we made the connection that he had an aunt that was murdered a year ago named Marlene. We began to consider the name. Yesterday I came home to a little girl in my house. Apparently my mother in law is watching her for a friend for a few days. Her name is Marley and she’s 2. I went out and bought her a pretty pink dress for Christmas tomorrow and a present. The only words she knows strongly are “mommy” and “no” (😂). So she calls me mommy, although I know she probably doesn’t mean it in the way she’s using it. My heart has melted. It’s going to suck saying goodbye.
