Visitation

The other evening, Justin made a nocturnal visit to his father and it made all the difference in the world. He visited him in a dream at a time when his dad was struggling with doing the right thing. And his influence moved his dad to overcome fear, facilitated enlightened action and supported him in facing one of his most difficult demons. In this instance, Justin’s visitation helped his dad overcome the pride, anger and resentment that continue to threaten, allowing him to marshal the strength to take a step he was resisting and would otherwise not have taken. It was a crucial step moving our family further on a path towards healing, even in the awful void of missing him. And while I continue to wish for my own personal message from Justin; my time to feel his presence with me, I am content to know he took this time with his father and I feel more than ever that he is O.K., that he has found the peace he wants for us, and that he is watching.
