VIV Moment

The night my father died I dreamed of sitting alone on the beach and watching dolphins play in the ocean, very close to the shore.

About 18 months after his passing, I was sitting on the beach one day, alone, contemplating how much my life had changed with the passing of my father and the changes that had taken place in my family and in my life over the past 18 months — some of them good, some of them terrible, all of them major.

All of a sudden I got this eerily calm feeling and there were dolphins playing in the surf, just as they had in my dream.

About a month before my father passed away, on Christmas Eve, we had a long conversation about how he would leave this earth one day but that he would always be with me and in my heart. I asked him to give me a sign when he died and he promised.

And on that day I know it happened — on some level, in some way, we were able to communicate.

My life has never been the same.
