Black dragon

Have you ever had a dream that you just couldn't figure out? Black dragons were circling, and circling over my head. Floating gracefully above my head. So I kind of had a chuckle and wondered why on Earth I dreamed about black dragons? If only I had counted them, or paid more attention. For fun, I searched a dream dictionary ( see below).
BUT, what amazes me more.... As I was glancing through pictures, a picture stood out like no other, I almost missed it. The EXACT same black dragon in my dream, Mason wore on his arm in March 2010. To view this picture right after my dream well, you tell me?

To see a dragon in your dream, represents your strong will and fiery personality. You tend to get carried away by your passion, which may lead you into trouble. You need to exercise some self-control.

I am proud to know you and Eddie. Your passion to fight against childhood cancer is a noble and worthy cause. I'll see you Sunday!; August 22, 2011 at 10:27 AM

About Mason Arik

To continue Mason's dream and his memory, we dedicate this blog to him. He has been diagnosed with Diffuse Pontine Glioma (Brain Tumor) (04/22/10). He courageously battled his cancer for 11 1/2 months. On March 29th, 2011, it was snowing in Heaven. He is and will be missed forever. We will continue to write and share the strength and courage that Mason has taught us as well as the many other lives he has touched, near and far. Links are listed below to provide additional information regarding DIPG.

Discovery of Tumor-Dx April 22, 2010

Beginning in March of 2010, Mason complained of severe headaches, mostly at night. Then the headaches went from 2-3 times a month (over a 2 month period) to every night and more severe, by the 3rd night I contacted his pediatrician. I was told to give him Excedrin Migraine.

But by the next day we were walking to school and he had double vision- Thanks to the school nurse, we scheduled an appointment that day with Sabates eye care. After his eye was dilated they noticed his eyes were shifting. An immediate MRI was scheduled.

After the most agonizing MRI, we went home awaiting the results. That's when we were told it was a tumor (pontine glioma) We waited to visit the doctor before researching the internet. So imagine the shock to hear this is the worst locations to find a tumor, inside the brain stem. (inoperable and unfortunately very serious)
