Shadow called Pheobe. “Hello, Phoebe. I need someone to talk to you. I had a very bad dream last night. I dreamt my mother squirted me with water every time I tried to get milk from her. The dream was so scary and frightening. I don’t understand why she did that. Did she not love me,” said Shadow her voice cracking as she began to cry. “I don’t know why she did that. You know I love you and Thom loves you, You are loved now. Your mother was cruel,” said Pheobe. “Luckily, I have therapy today,” said Shadow. “Did you call your sponsor about this?” said Phoebe. “Yes, I did. She gave me a prayer to say at night: ‘Higher power I’m handing this fear and terror over to you that I might have a peaceful night’s rest in your loving grace, thank you, Amen’,” recited Shadow. “That’s a beautiful prayer. Let’s pray to shake that it works,” said Phoebe. “I will. I have to get going I have to get myself and Rocky ready. We have to be there at 10 AM.” Said Shadow. “Goodbye, good luck,” said Phoebe. “Bye, I’ll call you later, love ya,” said Shadow as she hung up the phone call.
