"Dear Father Tony,

I had the same dream three times and it is bugging me.

In it, I am in the kitchen standing next to the ironing board and I'm holding the iron and I'm sort of smiling in a calm way like I'm peaceful. I feel real peaceful.

One by one, I take clothes out of a basket and iron them. They are all my girlfriend's stuff. We have been together for six years and I love her and I think she loves me, but who knows. I can't read minds, you know? Like all couples, we have our fights.

I iron and fold and stack her stuff in neat piles. I do it slowly and carefully and I like doing it. I am proud of the neat stacks. I look down and see that she has come in kitchen and she is looking up at me and watching what I am doing, but she is little and she looks just like the photos we have of her when she was a little girl with braids. She doesn't say anything. She just watches me, and I am thinking "Why doesn't she say anything?"
