DREAM LAND!

Ok guys here I go...never blogged before but I feel the need to share a dream I had last night.. First of all I need to start by telling you a conversation I had with Chelsea on the way to Delta last Saturday as we were on our way to Shakelle's baby shower.  She had been  visited by a lady who had lost a brother and she had told me two different stories about how the lady had been visited by her brother on 2 different occasions through dreams...and got answers for her family from her brother who had passed on....I was feeling a little restless last night and was getting a sore throat and went to bed with a headache...so I woke up around 2:00 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep...as you all probably do I started thinking about Dad and how much I missed him and before I knew it I was in DREAM LAND... I dreamed that I felt Dad next to me in bed and the phone rang...It was dark and I went to get the phone but couldn't move or talk...The phone kept ringing and I remember that I knew it must be Chelsea calling...I wanted so bad to answer it and tell her that Dad  was back and that he was as handsome as ever...He looked like he did when he was in High School and I remember the peaceful feeling knowing that he was with me again.  Dad got up and came over to the side of the bed and helped me up...he gave me the biggest hug like he used to and kissed me and then he was gone... As you all know when you dream that sometimes when you wake up and then go back to sleep you sometimes forget some of the most important parts...I will never forget how I felt the moment I woke up and realized that YES it was just a dream but I will never forget the way I felt knowing that your Dad came to me in a dream and let me know that things will be alright and that he still loves me so much. He had that HUGE smile on his face and even though it was just a dream...I felt that this was Dad's way of letting me know he's OK and I will be OK...I miss your Dad every second of everyday and I cry myself to sleep almost every night but knowing that we get to spend ETERNITY as a family will get me through the toughest days!!!

 Another tender mercy the night after the funeral as I crawled into bed after praying my hardest to Heavenly Father to comfort me and let me know that I can get through this...I awoke that night and I literally felt the covers wrapped so tight up against my neck that I could hardly move.  I know again that it was your Dad making sure that I was tucked in tight and staying warm...I also know that Dad was with us as we stood in those viewing lines giving us unexplainable strength to get through those and the funeral...The veil is so thin at times and I'm sure we will keep experiencing those things in our life that we will know without any doubts that he is keeping a close watch over us.  I am forever grateful that I have each one of you to help each other get through one of the toughest trials we will face as a family...I thank my Heavenly Father every single night for giving me all of you to help each other continue on and make it so one day we can be a "FOREVER FAMILY"  I LOVE EACH ONE OF you with ALL of my HEART...WE can do this...STAY STRONG!!!
