Angels

It has been a couple of years since my father passed away, I was with him the day he died and had the opportunity to speak to him for quite a while that day. I want to document something that happened that day so I don't forget it or have it's memory clouded by my own aging...

Dad passed away when he was 85, while is body was failing him, his mind was strong, so I would not attribute any of what he said to his failing health.

Dad told me of a very recurring dream that he was having... In that dream, three people would approach him and talk with him, but the odd thing was he could never clearly see their faces, but as the days went on, there were times he said almost could recognize them. I should note that a couple of times in the previous days he almost lost his battle but was revived by the hospital staff.

My question is: Were these people angels, or people sent to guide his path to great unknown?

If they were guides, were these people that he knew that had passed before him that came to guide his journey? Why was there three? Is there a significance to that number? I wonder who it might be?

I like to think, I like to hope, that when dad passed away he could clearly see the faces of those people and he happily crossed over to the other side with joy in his heart.

I hope they were angels... I miss him, I hope he is happy, eating sunflower seeds and watching a baseball game somewhere...
