Tammy’s Dream
This is from my amazing older sister
I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to let go of Dad, and yesterday I went home after coffee with mom and everyone and took a very long nap. During which, I had a dream. The four of us kids and mom went on a journey together and we landed at the house as it was when I was little. A big boxer came to meet us in the backyard and inside was us four kids as little ones and dad in his underwear (like always), laughing and playing with us. I hugged him and said daddy I miss you, he smiled as big as ever and said, It’s ok can’t you see I am happy! We then started to go through the house and there were many rooms. In each room was what looked like Dad, but we knew it was him reincarnated into someone or something else. The rooms all represented something of him. One room, Dad was an autistic child watching a large screen with beautiful pictures on it. Some rooms were were just filled with beautiful things but had a presence I can’t explain. There was a room just filled with kids and I can’t explain all of the rooms but in the last one, dad was in bed and all of us jumped in and held each other as if saying goodnight one more time. We smiled and laughed and I could feel his face on mine and hear his voice telling us all how much he loved us and he was happy. In the end of my dream, dad called me on my phone and I said, “daddy, daddy I love you are you there?” He said “It’s me Tammy and I love you”. The dream was over. The weird thing is that Bob would try and wake me up and I kept saying no, I have to finish this dream! At this point, I really let my dad go and it felt OK Tammy Sue

Sweet dreams Tam
It was so good to see you all. I know you were all very blessed to have Cliff but he was very blessed to have you all as well. That was one of the most beautiful, intimate, services I have ever attended and just wanted to thank you again so much and say I know he’s so very proud of each and every one of you for honoring him in such an awesome, selfless way.
You have no idea how proud i am of u making that long and lonesome journey, u are the essence of love lisa.

That’s so sweet but the journey wasn’t long and lonesome at all. There was absolutley no other place I’d rather be and I am the one who received such a blessing.

Lisa, I was so happy I got to talk to you Saturday! Dad sure loved you and your gentle spirit. Can’t wait to see and talk to you again!
Lisa,
It was great to see you and squeeze you. Thanks for being a part of the celebration. We love you lots!
It was great to see everyone! I wish the distance wasn’t so great. Judy would love to visit, and when she is feeling a little better, we’d like to spend some time with you all. Until then, hang on tight to the love that never fails!
Beautiful story, Tammy! Keep ‘em coming!
Tammy,
Thanks for sharing that dream. Clearly you have beautiful memories that will never leave you and sustain you for the rest of your life. The boxer in your dream brought back memories for me of when I was a child. We got my all-time favorite childhood pet, a boxer, shipped from Uncle Toody in Indiana after we had moved here to Alabama. I still remember uncrating her and how she bounced all over the living room and how exciting it was. We named her Princess and she was the best dog ever! Wish I could have been there for the Celebration. You all remain in my heart and prayers.
Love, Connie
