Tabbruis could feel his heart skip a beat and Charmeine’s was turning flip-flops in her chest. Tabbruis and Charmeine looked at each other. Both with wonder in their eyes, they looked back at Shane. Tabbruis said, “You were there?”
Shane put his long hair over his shoulders and said, “I don’t know… everything was light and misty like we were in a cloud almost.”
Charmeine swallowed hard, “I know what you mean. You were there with us?”
Shane smiled and said, “Well yeah, but not exactly. This is where it gets just out there.
I heard Char call Tab…Tabbruis.
I heard Tab call Char…Charmeine.”
Dead silence…
******
Tabbruis and Charmeine just stared at him like statues.
Shane shook his head and said “It gets weirder guys.”
He took a big breath and swallowed.

Tabbruis and Charmeine
Shocked as Shane reveals his dream

“Char you had a baby in your arms, and I saw Tab or Tabbruis bend down to soothe the baby because it was crying. Tab or Tabbruis asked what you wanted to name the baby, and Char, you said… Shane.”
Charmeine started to feel the room spin and her eyes rolled into the back her head.
Like a flash of a falling star, Charmeine remembered being pregnant… the feeling of the baby growing inside her… the happiness when her baby was born… Tabbruis kissing the baby boy holding him in his arms…
Charmeine fell backwards in a faint and Tabbruis moved immediately to catch her.
Shane dove down to the floor and grabbed Charmeine’s head before it hit the floor.
Tabbruis started to administer little slaps to Charmeine’s face.
Shane was trembling and said, “Hey Char… come on. Please look at me Char. I’m sorry.”
Charmeine was coming around. She opened her eyes and saw Tabbruis and Shane. Charmeine knew in an instant that Shane was her and Tabbruis’ son.
She turned to Tabbruis and cried out, “Oh my God! It’s the truth Tabbruis! It’s the truth every word of it. I just remembered Tabbruis. I remembered carrying our baby. I remember giving birth to Shane. I remember how happy we were the day he was born. I remember how happy we were to have Shane and to be a family in Heaven! I remember! Tabbruis, Shane is our son!”
All the hundreds of years of pain and loneliness just came crashing down on Tabbruis like a tidal wave. He stared at Charmeine with stunned expression. Tabbruis staggered with the weight of her words and sat back on the floor not knowing what to say unable to speak.
Tabbruis knew Charmeine was telling the truth. He thought, ‘How could this young man before me be my son and I not know it?’
Tabbruis did not know what to do with all the emotions that were deep down inside of him.
Charmeine sat up holding Tabbruis’ arm and said, “Tabbruis, look into your heart and remember.”
Tabbruis closed his eyes and in that instant, he remembered seeing the sparkling blue eyes of the infant he cradled in his arms. Tabbruis opened his eyes and saw Shane’s bright blue eyes… They were his son’s eyes!
With one look, he knew Shane was his son! Tabbruis crushed Shane to his chest with a big hug. Tabbruis released Shane and cried while looking at him, “I cannot believe it, but it is true! I saw our son’s eyes when he was a baby, and I see them before me now! Shane! Oh my God, you are my son! You are my son!”
Shane was shaking he was stunned with emotions. He looked to Charmeine and said, “It’s true Char?”
Charmeine said choking through the tears, “Yes! Yes! It is true! I remember now! I remember expecting you Shane! I remember you being born! Yes! I remember how we were a family in Heaven!”
Tabbruis said, “Shane, my son. My God, I remember those eyes now.” He hugged Shane tightly again.
Shane welling in tears said, “I guess you’re my Dad, huh?”
Tabbruis said proudly, “Yes Shane, I am your Father.”
Shane pulled away and said to Charmeine, “You… you are my Mom? That’s a trip and a half!”
She said, “Shane, you are my Son!”

Tabbruis wrapped his arm around Charmeine and said, “Shane, your Mother and I have found you!” They all grabbed each other in a strong embrace.
Tabbruis said, “Thank God, we have found each other at last! After a years of separation and loneliness, we are a family again!”
Shane sat back still with tears running down his face and said, “Why? Why did this happen to us? What happened?”
Tabbruis said, “Son, I do not know why we were all separated. Maybe we will find those answers to our questions. However, we are together now. That is all that matters. Our family is restored and reunited; we are all together again.”
Shane said, “It just hurts so much! I felt so damn lonely.”
Tabbruis said, “I know Son. We all felt alone in this world.”
He looked at Charmeine and she nodded.
Tabbruis continued and said, “I am sure we will find the answers to our questions. However, for now, let us dwell on the fact we are together now, today and in this moment.”
Charmeine just stared at the two, Father and Son back together again. Each of them so hurt by the separation but so happy they were together again.
Charmeine silently prayed, ‘Thank you God. Thank you for bringing Tabbruis’ Son back to him. Thank you Lord God, this is wonderful to my eyes.’
Charmeine took Tabbruis and Shane in her arms and felt relief and joy.
Entwined, all three sat there welling in tears and pouring out all the hurt, pain, and loneliness they all had into the universe. It was being replaced with joy, love, and a sense of belonging to a family.
Together their bond became so tight, they knew they would never be apart again.

I have loved this song since 1977…
I used to sing the song as a girl not even knowing what the words were about!
We have all felt alone…
We have all felt not loved…
My thought for today is to reach out…
I bet you will make someone feel loved and not lonely anymore!
