My parents and I were estranged.

I learned my father was in hospice and was angry no one told me.

I was instrumental in him being able to go home.

I practice hands on healing and believed he could have been healed.

He progressed to a coma.

I was moved to ask my son to take me to their house as I had no money for gas. I put my bike in his Trunk to ride home.

When we got there my dad was burning up with fever. I put my hands on his head and he cooled down. I told his caregivers they could do that and they looked at me like I was crazy.

Because others were there I spoke to my dad in tbousht telling him Shawn and I had come to say goodbye.

I rode my bike home and walked into my front yard by a tree and asked my dad where he was as he certainly was not in that emaciated body.

I heard him say I'm in the sky, I'm in the tree ( as I put my hand on the tree) I'm all around.

Then I heard a whooshing sould like air escaping a balloon and I heard him say wheee, I'm free!

I walked up to the house and the phone was ringing. It was one of his care givers calling to say he had died.

But I already knew.
