all of the
times except for the last time I was brushing my hair in the bathroom. My father
always brushed my hair when I was little. First I felt his presence then I
looked up in the mirror and saw him standing behind me smiling at me gently.
The last time I was in the living room giving my mother something to eat. She
was on the couch and had just came home from the hospital. She has lost weight
since my father passed away and had made herself sick. I turned around and he
was over at the edge of the living room beside my desk just watching us I feel
making sure that she was ok.
