Sacred Stories
Her dad had passed six weeks ago. She was living with her mom.
Her mom’s college roommate and husband had recently come for a visit and helped with a bunch of house projects. Afterward, she and the husband spent a few hours just talking. They really enjoyed an in-depth conversation.
He said he had loved that kind of conversations with her dad, and was hoping he might be able to share that way with her too.
Several times during their conversation he remarked how her speech and behavioral mannerisms were just like her dad’s.
“It is like I am talking to your dad again….” he told her.
Rather than a sense of emptiness, she also feels her dad’s presence at the house. She says it is comforting, adding,”I very much believe there is more to this world than we can experience intellectually.”
