Happy Birthday Dad! An inspiring Story

As you all know I lost my dad recently.  We have had a Memorial Service and next Friday there will be a full Military funeral.  I gotta tell you that I would NEVER prolong this as long as my mom did.  I understand her reasons but dad passed away on Feb. 16th.  No time for closure as it is now.  Oh well!  That isn't the reason I am posting today.  Today is dad's birthday.  Mom asked that we talk to him and pray today.  It is beautiful here in St. Louis today-the sky is a brilliant blue, soft white clouds are flittering by, peaceful.  I was in my car with soft Jazz music playing, the windows were rolled down and my hair was blowing in the air (I was going down a neighorhool street).  All of the sudden I looked up/out and said with a resounding voice "Happy Birthday Dad!  I Love You!".  Just then I felt the softest of butterfly hugs.  My heart stopped.  I got chills.  Thank you dad.....thank you Jesus.  Love, Elle
