Dad

Had an awful, realistic dream. Dad found out he had cancer and was gone within a few days after diagnosis. Everything is blurry now, don't remember a lot. Only that after he was gone, I remember a photo of Scarlet sitting on Dad's lap in the rocker flashed on my TV's screensaver and I began thinking how lucky they both were to have such a wonderful relationship. I remember saying aloud a prayer to Dad, telling him I loved him and missed him and that I'll basically try to hand down all the love and knowledge I got from him onto Scarlet. I am not a believer but I do know he has repeatedly asked/hoped we'd believe someday. I guess in my dream I believed in him being there to hear my prayer, kind of. I don't remember much that happened in the dream, only a really sad, mournful feeling now. :(
