This November 2nd marks 20 years since my dad passed away.

I was so young when he died — dad was the foundation of our family.

He kept the structures in place, and when he passed away, they turned to dust.

I dreamed about him for several years after — and he looked immaculately dressed in the suit that we buried him in.

He would never talk — only stare at me with an expressionless face.

In the last dream of him, I was going through a horrible time — contemplating suicide because I was stuck in such a toxic situation.

I didn’t have my fatherly foundation to put his loving arms around me for protection.

I saw him within a group of people arguing with me — in the distance.

The sight of him startled me to stop arguing and stare.

Was that dad? What’s he doing so far away from me, and why isn’t he saying anything?
