I wish I could make young people feel what it's like to miss someone so much that every fiber of their being hurts, but words don't come anywhere close to describing it.

At 4 AM this morning I was awoken from a dream I had of Jessica. In my dream, she was about 4 years old or so. You know that age where they are excited to see you. I heard her voice saying "Daddy" and turned around to have her run and jump into my arms. As I picked her up and held her, it felt so real. The one thing I remember asking her was "How do you like Heaven?" She replied, "I love it here daddy." As we talked I felt her melting away and I cried out, please don't leave me and then she was gone. I immediately woke up with uncontrollable tears in my eyes a pain in my heart that was so unbearable I could hardly breathe. It's a pain I would not wish on anyone but would gladly except again as that is the only way for me to feel her presence... even if it is for just a short moment.

If you're a young person thinking...
