When I was about 14, my father died. That was about 3 years ago. He died the 29th of December, but the last time I saw him was Thanksgiving of that year. When I learned of his death, I prayed for him to haunt for monthes until I finally gave up. Then, Thanksgiving of this year, while I was visiting my brother at my father's old house and place of death I saw something I will never forget. As I was walking into the kitchen, where he and I would talk, I saw him sitting at the table. At first I thought it was my imagination, but when I shut my eyes and opened then again he was still there. He then looked up at me with eyes teary and crying, and said, " I tried baby, I tried real hard." And then he was gone. I have no clue what it meant to this day.
