I had an dream experience shortly after my father's passing.  In my dream, I was on my lunch hour and went to the local Dairy Queen for lunch.  When I got there my father was there with some of this co-workers eating lunch.  I sat with Dad and was telling him all about things and just plain catching up.  He then got up from the table and said he had to get back.  I asked him to stay longer, but he said he couldn't, he needed to get back.  When I woke up from my dream, (it was so real), I felt like I lost my Dad all over again.  When I went to work, I told an older co-worker about my dream and she told me she thought it was God's way of letting us visit.  I've not had a dream as vivid as that one, but feel my Dad near me a lot.
