the second time i met him he was about 38 (my age at the time). he looked fit and healthy. he told me everything was good with him that he really liked the place he was in. he told me to look at him, at how good he looked instead of being sick and unhappy he was now well and happy. then my mother came running in to where we were (it was like an open space, nothing in it.) and started banging him on the chest and crying at him saying why had he left her, why he hadn't come to her instead of me. he didn't say anything to her, but as he turned to her she run away saying that she couldn't do this. he said to me "maybe i should come back. i would be stuck if i did though" i said why would he do that to himself and he said "because i love your mother. you have no idea how much i love her" i asked him why he didn't visit her and he didn't answer me. then i asked him to tell me what it was like where he was. he said it got a bit boring sitting around on fluffy white clouds all day and then winked at me, as if to say "i'm not telling!"

then he asked me did i want to give him a hug goodbye ( i didn't get a chance to do that in life and have been regretting it) i thought that it would be a symbolic hug but i felt his body, i felt his shoulder where my head rested, I felt his shoulders, and i felt his arms around me. and then it all just faded away.
