My father came to me in dreams in the midst of raging storm. He showed me windows to keep closed and how others should be 'cracked.' "Depends," he said, "upon the wind. It's not about what might blow in-- Watch the pressure" he intoned. "Storms can make a house implode." Now I type through tears, amazed. Somewhere, somehow? My father knows. |

Serenity - Well my dear, this one made the little hairs stand up on the back of my neck, and brought unexpected tears to my eyes. This is definitely going into my library. Amazing. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Depends," he said, "upon the wind. It's not about what might blow in-- ============================ I have many times now been surprised ... by what comes, whispered on wind by butterflies. In treasured traces left behind, in reverie of remind ... whispered wisdom will in time, turn to truth in define.    "and when we get to the pearly gates ... |

I've only had a couple of dreams about my Dad since his death, but this morning, I felt his presence so strongly, I am still amazed and still feel an inner calm that I haven't felt in a long time. I'd like to thank you all for reading, but mostly I'd like to thank my Dad. Oh how I've missed you--I love you, and yes, you are still my hero and I'm still your little girl. |

He has become your Guardian Angel - I'm glad you find solace in his presence. I hope you find him in your dreams more often.  |
