The Night That My Father Died

The night that my Father died Written By D.A.M October 11, 2009 (6:17pm) The night that my father died caught me completely by surprise And yet such a strange feeling came over me that night And I wanted to call him at home in an instant But it was already Ten O’clock And I knew that he would be in bed for the night So I made the decision to wait Because I didn’t want to wake him Because I knew that he was already asleep But something happened to me that night That I will never ever forget Because right before it was Ten O’clock I had an eerie feeling come over me Because I could feel his presence as if his spirit came to me to let me know That he was going away so that he could be with all of his loved ones in Heaven that night And nearly twenty years have come and gone since then And I will never forget that night when my Father died Because right before he made his ascension into Heaven I could feel him as he kissed my forehead and said goodnight

Yes Dean, I can relate to this, my own dad came to me after his wake, in the essence of his love, and gave me a message from my heavenly Father. This message had to do with God's purpose for my life. Sincerely, Moses
