I'm so sorry for the loss of your father.  I too believe that our loved ones are with us in spirit.  And I appreciate your wanting to share with me your beliefs on God's part in the loss of my son.  Let me state first that my faith in God has always sustained me, and more so since my son's death.  I have also lost both of my parents, my beloved sister, all of my grandparents and aunts and uncles.  It is hard to lose someone.  And I know it hurts you to lose your father.  I imagine he was a wonderful man.  

Shortly after my father passed I began having recurring dreams, where he was outside my window, and trying to talk to me through the screen.  I kept saying Daddy, I can't hear you, but he kept trying to tell me something.  I know now what that was.  He was trying to tell me he would be there to welcome Travis when he crossed over.  This is my belief.  I wish you peace and comfort, and God bless you and yours.
