I love this mug because it reminds me of my grandmother. As you can see from the pic, the rainbow on the mug is very similar to the keychain I've had since the very early '80s. I've kept it all this time because it, too, reminds me of my grandmother. Here's the story...
The night after my grandmother suffered the stroke that would end up killing her, I dreamed that she and I were standing atop a cliff in Ireland. She pointed at a rainbow in the sky and told me that when I saw the rainbow, I'd know that she was all right. Now, I had never seen a rainbow in real life, at that point, but she had often told me that, growing up in Ireland, she used to see them all the time.
So, all in all, this was not a surprising dream for me to have had, at that point. HOWEVER, when I arrived at the hospital the next morning, the first thing I saw, once I walked through the front door, was the big neon rainbow over the hospital gift shop. Thanks to the dream, I found myself comforted by that.
Anyway...tomorrow would have been her birthday.
