I spoke to a family member last night who talked about missing an opportunity to hold the hand of a loved one lying unresponsive in a hospital bed before he died. “I could have done it. I was right there and I didn’t do it” he lamented. He has since been visited in his dreams by this loved one who has told him “it will be alright”. It is time to accept those words as a message that he knows your heart and knows your true feelings and does not want you to suffer the guilt of how you think you failed him in that moment. Obviously, you didn’t fail him or he would not come to comfort you. Let it go now and replace that hurtful memory of yours with memories of all the love and good times you shared in your life. After all, you are his baby boy and always will be, no matter what. And, even though you didn’t hold his hand when you thought you should have, he was clutching your heart then and won’t let go of it until he sees you again to make sure your journey will be a safe one. And your mom will be pirouetting just to show you how happy she is that you got the message. Keep the faith.
