My father died in 1997 because of pneumonia. I love my father so much but I was never that close to him. He was a quiet person, a strict father especially when we were in our teens. Maybe because he was just a protective father. I never had the chance to say the things I need to say to my father. I wanted to thank him for all what he has done to us but I never did. He loved us, but I never showed the love that was supposed to be given back to him. I felt that I was so unfair. So many things left undone. I dream, and in my dreams, I still see my father alive and talking to me. When I wake up, I see reality and my father is not there. What I do is just cry. I miss my father.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He sounds like an exceptionally kind person, and I'm sure he understands. I almost lost my father a few years ago, and I feel like I got a second chance and make sure to thank him at every possible opportunity for being so supportive all my life. I'm glad you're able to 'connect' with your father in your dreams and hope you get some comfort from them.
