Father's Day

when was the last time you cried?

last night i had very vivid dream. my family was around the dinner table. my mom, sisters, brother and my dad were all present. in fact, i was sitting right beside my father. he was talking to me. the voice is exactly how i remember it - clear, fluid, strong and dominant but caring. he was telling me how happy he is for me and that everything is ok. he goes on to tell me that he wants me to have his watch and that i should keep it no matter what and 'even if he gets hurt'. in my dream, i started to cry. tears streamed down my cheeks like crazy.

i woke up - crying. tears streaming down my cheeks like crazy. my pillow was wet. the dream felt real. his voice so solid. and his words resonated in my head for the rest of the day.

'even if i get hurt'
