Back to the dreams...
I'm one of those people who rarely remembers the content of my dreams but about 8 weeks after Dad died I had a lovely dream which remains vivid to this day.
I had been very down - we had just lost my Mum-in-law as well - I had been grasping at memories trying to keep the images clear, recalling the smells on his clothes and stuff like that. Then I had a lovely dream when Dad came back to us to tell us he was fine, I "felt" and squeezed those lovely wrinkly hands again and led him through the house to Mum to say "look who's here".
I've never shared this before - not even with Mum - and as I sit here I'm shedding more than a couple of tears cos I miss him so much. But I am so grateful I had this last touch - he was happy and it was so real.
I'm not religious at all - can't stand the mumbo jumbo - but I reckon theres more to come after we leave this place.
Got to go - Need a couple of tissues!
