I saw my dad in my dream today, and it felt so real.
A couple of weeks before he passed away, I wasn’t speaking to him. I was angry with him, and he wouldn’t speak to me either because I wasn’t speaking to him. Like father, like son.
But I did speak to him for a while before his death, although it still never felt like enough. I was someone who used to be with my father 24/7. Wherever he was, I wanted to be there too.
After his death, my mom once told me that during the time I wasn’t speaking to him, he would often cry and say that his son wasn’t speaking to him. But he never showed me how much it hurt him. He looked tough whenever I was around during that period.
I think I’m exactly like him, soft on the inside, but very hard on the outside.
In my dream today, I saw him sitting on a chair with a few other people. I walked past him from behind without saying anything, still not speaking to him. But then I decided to turn around and hug him from behind.
He was so happy. He held my shoulder with his right hand and smiled.
The dream felt incredibly real.
I was a spoiled brat, and my dad spoiled me my entire life, from the day I was born until the day he died. He gave me so much love, and I wish I could have given him more.
I hope he has finally forgiven me for everything I ever did that hurt him. And I hope that wherever he is, he is happy, peaceful, and proud of his son.
I miss you, Dad ❤️.
رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
My Lord, have mercy upon them, as they raised me when I was small.
