Dreams

I dreamt about appan yesterday night. He was dead and lying on the cot on the white clothe before being moved into the coffin and all of us sitting around, crying, sobbing, upset. Then he started moving his eyelids and then his legs as if they were aching from lying still for so long. We all sat their surprised and our cousin AB moved closer to him and kissed him. Then all of us started smiling and laughing with relief. My son T moved close to him and started kissing him. Appan got up and soon everyone was talking excited at what had happened. We asked him what had happened and he said, “He told me that I had a lot of unfinished prayers to say, pilgrimages to make and thanks to give Him. He told me to wait till then. Besides there is a lot I have to do here. We need to make a new road to make the house more accessible to cars.”

J my hubby said that was okay we would do whatever has to be done. Then amma, C and I walked toward the gate and we saw people coming for the funeral and we were smiling happily when they asked where appan was and we said, “He is waiting inside.”
