Hi Tracey,
> it's her 18th birthday on the 23rd. . .

My first gut reaction was "Oh gosh!  I'm so sorry."  Then, it hit  
me.  You have just had your first tink of the year!   Louise is  
reminding you that her birthday is coming up, and boy, mom - you'd  
better not forget it.  Maybe you need to be thinking about her  
special cake this year.  Or do something else that is special.  But  
since the dream was about what to feed her, a cake sounds good.
I know that remembering can be a double edged sword.  The bad and the  
good.  I hope you can find peace in the coming days as Louise maybe  
tries to tell you more things that she would like for her 18th birthday.

Boy, I sound like a prophet.  I'm not, and never will claim to be  
one.  My dad passed away on Dec. 26th, 1999 - just 8 days short of 84  
years and only 5 days from the millennium.  He and mom would have  
celebrated 62 years of marriage on Jan. 8th.  They have both been on  
my mind a lot, especially Tuesday.  The tears flowed all day long.   
It was a hard day, so I'm talking but not listening.  :**(
