Hi Aimlee,
My dad passed away 10 years ago. He was my best friend and I missed him so bad those first few years, but the first couple of months were just gut wrenching. One night I was having a major meltdown and I told my husband that I just wanted my dad to rub his whiskers on my face one more time. He used to do that to tease me.
That night I had a dream. I was in a store of some sort and standing at the cash register when my dad said something. I turned around and looked at him and said "Daddy, you can't be here. You have passed away. What are you doing here?" He took my face, rubbed his whiskers on my face and said "There's your one last time." I am crying as I write this because of the memory. It was so very real I woke up immediately balling my eyes out and my face felt funny where he had rubbed. It was amazing and gave me so much peace to know that he was listening and watching.

I also had a dream when my Grammy passed away. I was only 17 and was not the best granddaughter in the world. I had made excuses sometimes of why I couldn't take her shopping or do something else for her. When she passed away I had such a burden of guilt for not being more attentive. In my dream I was shopping, (ironically in a store in both dreams and I hate to shop). I was in a clothes store and when I pulled back some clothes to look at them my Grammy was on the other side of the rack. I was shocked to see her, but excited too. I asked her why she was there and she told me that she just wanted me to know that I had been a wonderful granddaughter and that I needed to put my guilt away and have a happy life. Crazy, right?
So, those are 2 of my stories. I had another with my dad, but sadly I can't remember it. It was something very small. My mom was so hurt when I told her about the big dream I had had because my dad didn't come to her in a dream at all. I felt really bad and I don't know why I was blessed, but I wasn't going to apologize. I cannot wait to get to Heaven to play baseball or tennis with my earthly dad and hug my Heavenly Father!!! I KNOW that day will come and they are waiting for me.
I hope this helps.
Blessings,
Kathy
