A gift from God for my 55th birthday.

Early this morning a vivid dream came upon me. I was standing in a wide hallway and it was quiet before I heard footsteps at the base of a wide staircase. The stride was familiar to my senses, it sounded like my Father’s stride. I walked toward the staircase and looked down seeing my Father standing there and looking at the staircase. Tears began flowing as I quietly sobbed “Dad … oh Dad”. He began to ascend the stair and at the top, paused. I was in tears and again sobbed “Dad … ”. I discerned he could not see me and was following the sound of my quiet sobs. He raised his arms as if feeling for me in the dark and began slowly walking toward me. I reached to touch his hand, worried that I would not feel it; but I DID feel it and we clutched each other in a desperate embrace. I suddenly awoke with crystal clear consciousness of what had just happened and thanked my Heavenly Father over and over.

My Father died in 2005 and tomorrow is my 55th birthday. Thank you, God, for this wonderful gift.
