A Dream Come True

Do you remember the dreams you had as a child? Have some of them come true? I'm not talking about the dreams you had at night, no - but the ones that were with you night and day. The ones that when things got tough were giving you a hand to hold on to: 'One day, I will do this, go to that place or one day, a prince will come and save me' etc. Those kind of dreams. I had a lot of them as a kid; they kept me going. A few of them came true.
Through a book for example, I fell in love with the United States of America. That novel was Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'. I fell in love with the character and the country where his adventures took place. This land had become a refuge in my mind...'One day, I will go to the United States of America.' Here I am, some 28 years later, living in the land of the Free. Interestingly enough, I never worked at coming here. It just happened. If anything I was trying to go back to England when I met my future husband. Today, I smile when I remember that dream... and thank God, because after all, He is the One who made my dream come true.
