Thank you so much for your kind words. This was a very difficult time in my life; but you're right! God is absolutely AMAZING! I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I hope you have memories that keep your heart warm, even if you don't have dreams or "feel" him at times. Do you blog? :) Hi there!

You and your family have been through the fire literally and have come out stronger. God is amazing...after 6 years of you and your brother having such terrible fights, He enabled reconciliation and forgiveness where it seemed impossible. My dad died when I was really young, I think I used to have dreams then but I never do now and I don't feel him. All in all thanks for writing this How you were able to write such an excruciating entry is beyond me. You and your family have been through the fire literally and have come out stronger.

My dad died when I was really young, I think I used to have dreams then but I never do now and I don’t feel him.
All in all thanks for writing this

Very much so. But thank you for taking the time to read it! :) Memphis Steve: It's not a topic that I bring up and discuss with hardly anyone, so don't feel bad. It's just not something that I have ever been able to really talk about openly, with the exception of exactly two people in my life. It was time to write this, though. I'm not sure what the meaning behind your dreams may have been; but perhaps you have just needed, on some level, to know/feel that even though your father was gone, he would alway be by your side... helping to guide you through the major decisions in your life? I don't know. Only you can really get to the bottom of them if you care to really analyze it. Sometimes, I think it can be better just to accept it as a gift an accept the comfort and peace that usually comes with dreams like that. White Flower: Your comment took me by surprise because... really? I don't "feel" very strong. I've made a lot of mistakes - some bigger than others. I just did what I had to do. The rest of my family was pretty freaked about the whole situation and didn't know what to do, so they just... stepped back. A large part of it was up to me and I did my best. But none of it was perfect. I doubt that any entry could really contain all of the details of that time, all of my thoughts and feelings... I think this is probably as good as it will get. But anyway! I truly thank you for your comment. For seeing strength, where I have a hard time seeing past vulnerability and pain. And mostly? Thank you for your prayers! Those are always needed and you, and yours, will be in mine also :). *HUGS* Iron FIst: It was. Very much so. But thank you for taking the time to read it! :)

I don't recall you and I discussing any of this. I had no idea you had been through so much. It's something that will be a part of who you are for the rest of your life, both for good and for bad. My dad died about 2 years ago. For about a year I had dreams like you mentioned. In every dream I was packing or unpacking. And the entire time, he was there, walking along just talking to me. Everything seemed normal. It seemed like this was the way things should be. But once I woke up I started to wonder what I was packing or unpacking for? As far as I knew I wasn't going anywhere. And what had he been saying to me? Somehow I knew he was giving me advice. He always did. I hadn't been aware or not being able to hear him while I was dreaming, but once I woke up I realized that I couldn't recall a single word he'd said. I guess the words weren't important. It was just the fact that he was there. Last year we moved. We bought a new house, excactly like the house I had dreamed but never seen before. After we'd moved in the dreams stopped. I haven't had a dream about my father, or me packing or unpacking, since. I guess maybe he knew I was moving? I sure didn't. I never knew about this. I don’t recall you and I discussing any of this.
