It happening again this year...
Last night was the first night of many to follow that I had a dream about my dad. It is the same recurring dream. He is still alive, having recovered from cancer, only to pull me aside and tell me that it has returned. What does this mean? Why can't I dream of him in heaven, whole, and exactly like he was before that curse of a disease? Why is he healed and then sick again? Maybe this is just another step of the grieving process--maybe it's just reflection. I don't know. It's sad, though, and it makes me miss him. It makes me remember and wonder and sigh. October is such a hard month for me still.
Daddy, I can't wait to see you in heaven some day. I love you.

Oh Adrielle, I am so sorry! I think of you every year in October. Although I know that you have been given much peace and grace, I know that the loss of your dad is still sometimes raw. I cannot imagine. Thank you for sharing and being real and vulnerable. I will be praying for you this month as anniversaries and special days come and go. I love you!
I am so sorry that you have to endure this dream over and over. I hate that you know the loss of a father. I love you and I will be praying for you this month. I can only imagine how hard it is for you every year.
Adrielle, I'm so sorry. I just can't imagine how hard it is to have those dreams. I will be praying extra for you during this month. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Oh Adrielle, this makes me cry. Interesting- Ronny lost his dad in October, too. Makes for a hard month at our house as well.
Between the time of year and with last weeks lesson on healing and all of the cancer examples given in our Believing God book, I wonder with that being on your mind if that has contributed to your dreams(?)
Ronny feels like these dreams are a part of the grieving process.I don't really know.
I love you and am praying for you extra.
Sweet sweet Adrielle, I love you so much and I too am praying for you today. I pray the peace of God that passes all understanding would mount guard over your mind and heart and that God's comfort would cuddle you so close to His heart. You are precious to all of us... probably more than you know.
Know that I am thinking about you and praying for you during this season. Let's hang soon. Love ya! lesley
So sorry for a hard month. Dreams are hard. Praying for peace.
I am so sorry to hear that you are having to endure these dreams. I am praying for your peaceful rest, and for a constant reminder of Christ's love for you in the midst of this difficult month. You are a huge blessing.
Adrielle - I understand completely. Every year in February, I start feeling down, and I begin to wonder what's wrong with me. Even though I lost my dad over 20 years ago, somehow my mind knows it's February.
It does get better. I can promise this to you because I know you know the One who gives peace that passes all understanding.
I hope you're starting to feel a little better after having that dream.
