"Dad! is that you? Is it really you?" "Yes, its me," the voice whispered. It was him, my dad. Tears welled up in my eyes. I struggled to speak. "But, you died." I can't make sense of this, my mind was reeling. "Hello?" a familiar voice questioned. "Uh, yes I'm here Dad...how are you?" I had so many questions. My heart was racing, my mind still spinning with memories of him. "Oh I'm great! It's unbelievable here! I'm learning so much!" He sounded so happy. "Dad I miss you so much," the tears were falling faster now. "Don't cry my love," my father tried to comfort me. "I'm sorry, its just that mom and I miss you so much." my voice cracking now. "I know, but we'll be together again some day." "I know Dad, I love you Dad." "I love you too! Remember I'm happy and I'll be here waiting for you."
"Click" he was gone, my heart sank, my tears flowed freely now. I hung up the phone sobbing uncontrollably. "Beep, Beep, Beep...My eyes flew open. I touched my face, my cheeks were wet. As I looked around the room I realized I was in my bed. Sadness overcame me, it was all a dream, my heart sank once more, tears came again. Then remembering the words my father spoke, "I love you and I'm happy." I wiped the tears from my face, smiled and whispered, "I love you Dad."
