As we headed over to the conference center, I grew nervous. My dream had really shaken me up. When we finally arrived, it was really nice. Nothing like in the dream.

The conference was great. We were able to present our next 12 month goal and we were successful in booking 10 huge donors. I'm talking MILLIONS!

"WHEEEW! THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE MONEY" Angel exclaimed.

"Boooy, mom would be so proud of me right now."

I laughed in excitement "I'm sure she would. You did great."

"No now, Deysire Washington don't you go handing me all of this credit. WE did it."

He bear hugged me and said "Let's call my Dad."

"Hey, Angel?" Frank answered.

"Pop, we did it! We hit the goal today"

"That's my boy!"

"Uhm... What about me?" I teased.

"Mrs. Washington. My one and only Deysire." He laughed "Well now, without you I don't even think we'd have made it this year."

"Thanks, Mr. Frank." I giggled.

"Alright you guys. Good job! Enjoy some fun in the sun, I'll talk to you guys later. Hey, Angel.. "

"Yeah, Pop?"

"Your mother would be proud. I love you."

"I love you too, Pop!"

When he hung up the phone, there was a obvious sadness. His whole energy shifted.

"Hey Man of steel! Look alive, Let's go celebrate."

He looked at me and smiled.

"What do you have in mind?"

"I don't know. We just made millions. Let's go big." I teased.

"I have the perfect idea, come on" he said.

We went back to the resort.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"Just trust me." He suggested.

"Fine."

"Go put on your pajamas and meet me back at my room."

"Pajamas? It's the middle of the afternoon."

"You said, go big, right? It doesn't get bigger than this."

My mind went to a million places. I obliged and headed off to my room.
