In a dream, I saw my dad's face through a window that was placed up high - I could not reach it if I wanted to. Light was shining from behind him and I heard his voice say, "I'm ok... please don't worry about me.. I am doing fine now... but, I can't talk much right now" His voice was a little static, like it was coming though a radio that wasn't tuned to the correct channel. I wanted so badly to say something and have a conversation with him but, as soon as I saw him and started to speak he was gone and the window faded away.  

My husband said that he sensed my father's presence in the kitchen when he woke up in the morning.
