In Dreams
My dad came to me in my dream last night. I'll ignore the rampant weirdness that was the last half of my dream and focus on what is important.
My old house still existed in the dream. For some reason, we were selling it. This house was demolished a long time ago but everything was just as I remembered. My mom and I were there to get some things we'd left behind and we kept hearing noises.
Me: Who's there
Dad: It's me
I knew he wasn't alive and I didn't care. I ran to him and hugged him and we talked about everything that has gone on since he passed away. We even talked about one thing that has upset me recently. It broke my heart to wake up. If you've never lost everything, I don't know how to explain that hole inside myself that my dad always filled. I wish he'd appear to me outside of a dream. I need to hug him. I remember how he'd go for days without shaving sometimes and he had rough stubble. I think that's why I sometimes go for days without shaving. I run my hands over my face and it brings back memories.
