Doctor Mama Wifey WHATEVER

About a week after my father died I saw my hairdresser. She is an amazing person, so kind, thoughtful, slightly quirky and positive. People really open up to you more once they realize you are going through a difficult time as they have in the past. I appreciate that when people are genuine and even if they can’t “relate” that they at least can tell that one is not in the best state of mind. 

My hairdresser (will call her Ally) came to me as I was sitting in the waiting area and I immediately broke down and started crying. she sat with me and asked how i was, I told her about my father passing. she started to tear up and gave me a loooong hug, it was needed. we talked about things and then she brought up a story about her brother passing away in the distant past, which i had no idea about. she told me about all the guild she felt, which was exactly how I was feeling at the time. at the end of the service she told me that she asked her brother to come to her in a dream and he eventually did! she told me to do the same and i though, yea right! I believe in science, not hokey pokey stuff (no offense to Ally).

That night right before sunrise I had a dream I was the attending physician for my dad at the hospital, he was there with a minor kidney issue and I was helping another person in a bed next to him. as I was interviewing the other patient my dad kept interrupting and asking questions. I had to tell him to stop. later I had a break and was done with my duties for the day. I sat by his hospital bed. He said “you don’t have to stay here alllll day with me, go home and get some rest”. I said ” no dad I will stay the whole day with you until night time, its fine”. he then hugged me and I hugged him. He said he was sorry and mumbled something else, but I was woken up by my son in real life banging on the bedroom wall with his feet as he was turning in his bed in his sleep. I am not sure what else my dad said in the dream, but after that I never felt more at peace. I am still going through the million emotions, but at the foundation of it all I feel that things will be ok.
