What if You Dreamed?
Vincent Polito

IN MEMORIUM
One night when I was asleep I had a dream, not an ordinary dream that most times you don't remember, but one that seemed so real you thought you were still dreaming when you awoke.  This dream I had raised a very odd and unique question?
 
What if for one night, you had the ability to combine the past with the present.
 
What A Wonderful Night It Would Be!!!!!

These three men experienced a night together with no illness or no pain.  A night when all they had in common was their youth, their love for each other, and their curiosity for adventure.  Even though this may seem impossible, You must realize that when you dream nothing is impossible, and the visions you experience is created by the reality brought to you in your dreams......

To have the ability in your dreams to go back into time and experience all the memories that you had missed.  To see first hand all the stories that have been told to you.  To see your Mother and Father get married, and to share that day with them and see them young and vibrant and full of life.  To see your mother on that day in her wedding dress so beautiful and happy. To see her as a young women with her cousins and friends joking and laughing.  To meet all the people that you were only told about  but never were given the chance to meet.
What A Wondeful Night It Would Be

In your dreams, you could see what it would be like to sit and talk to your father, when he was your age.. Have him show you what it was like to grow up in his generation, seeing first hand what it was like to grow up in Brooklyn in the 50's.....
Wow what a glorious time it would be!!!!
Maybe even get into a little trouble along the way!!!

To be able to hold your Grandma one more time, and see your father treat her like a queen.. To share the moments that you have heard about so many times by your family....
 
It would been something extraordinary.
Something words could not capture but only the heart could explain.  The ones that you have loved that have left so long ago, coming back to you and sharing one more magical night with you.  One more night where there was no sickness or pain, no sadness of ones lost.  Just the warmth of each other.

In your dreams you could get the chance to see your Mom and Dad as High School sweethearts.  Watching them get ready for their big night. See your Pop, the man who for your whole entire life showed poise and toughness when it came to situations, watch him shake and sweat filled with nerves as a young man trying to put on his dates necklace. 
Still never showing how nervous he was to his date.

To be able to go back in time and share some of their wonderful memories first hand.  To see them so young and so full of life, would be wonderful....  But never the less it is still a dream. But it is your dream and no one can take that from you.
 
Life grows harder for some people than it does for others.  But you can't forget the memories.  Maybe it is crazy to wish that you could combine the past and present together for one night.
 
People say the past is the past and that is where it should stay, I say the past is who you are and you should never forget it.  You should learn from it. Remember it. Enjoy it. 
The past is who you are.  In reality your dreams are the only way you can combine the past and the present....
But in a world so full of pain and sorrow, a world where your feelings have to be governed by what society considers the norm.
 
I am thankful for my dreams.
 
 At night I close my eyes and I dream:
And I Combine My Memories Of The Past With The Present....
 
 WHAT A WONDEFUL NIGHT IT IS!!!!!
