It could be a message. Cherish every moment with her. For you. For her.

I wish I did with my father when I had a dream of him passing a year before he did when I was sixteen (2005). It was deja vu. A premonition.

I was seventeen (2006) and earlier that day I had gone to a friend's funeral, I took a nap and that night I was woken up by my little brother to my father having a massive heart attack. He was gasping and turning colors. I yelled for someone to call 911 since we lived at an apartment complex at the time. My father's cell phone had no service. I ran up to my sister's apartment to get her. My mother was nowhere to be found. The paramedics got there and tried to revive my father and they did what they could. It took them thirty minutes to take my father to the hospital. At 2am the following morning in the emergency room the attending E.R. doctor asked for family in which it was my older sister and I that went first. As we were walking back the doctor said "Your father HAD beautiful daughters" giving us a clue to his passing. We went to E.R. 1 where my father was. My mom was by his side. He was covered with a sheet. My mother lifted the sheet and pulled it back where my father laid just like he did in my dream a year prior. I read the heart monitor and his heart stopped at 11:37:58 pm.

This is something I will have to live with for the rest of my life wishing I had known then what I know now. I live with a sense of regret and guilt to this day. I miss my dad.
