Today, I woke up from a dream where I was talking with my Pa, who raised me, about my life. He and I drank coffee and talked and he told me everything will be OK. I will never talk with him again; he passed almost 59 years ago and I never got to say goodbye or tell him how much I loved him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a dream I saw my dad. I tried to talk to him, but then I woke up. He died last Monday. FML
Today, I had yet another dream in which my mother and I had a sweet conversation, followed by her hugging me, and telling me she loves me. Then I woke up and remembered that my once-loving mother hasn’t spoken to me in five years, and her last words to me were, "I hope you die in a fire." FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I had to comfort my husband after he had a dream in which both his parents died. He was really upset. Both my parents are dead… in real life. FML
Today, my father had a dream that he'd lost me forever, and the pain was so unbearable, it woke him up. Turns out, the pain he was experiencing was just his bowels and he really needed to take a shit. This is the most affection I've ever received from my father. FML
Today, I had a conversation about how my day was, while dreaming. That’s how lonely I am. FML
Today, I took my best friend to see her dad in hospital. While they were talking in another room about his care, he took his last lucid words before his death. I was the only one there and I'd never even met him before. FML
Today, I woke up and realized that the "nice dream" I'd had was just about talking to people. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML

Sounds like he came down to say goodbye himself. c:

There are multiple ways to interpret this - Either Dad paid you a needed visit in your dream or your mind created the “visit” to help you have closure. Either is good and healthy - At this point it’s about all you can do… You might consider a little journal writing about you feelings for Dad and what you wish you had said or what you wish you could say now. It’s not to create a masterpiece of writing - It’s to help you express your feelings and thoughts. It’s just between you and yourself, not for sharing so you can be honest with yourself.
