Something Touched Me

I had a few experiences that were spooky or scary, but this experience was really comforting and extremely real. My father had just been diagnosed with cancer and the entire family was in emotional turmoil. We had just gotten back to my parents house from the hopital. I reacted and handled it all by cleaning everything in site, until I literally dropped from exhaustion and fell asleep sometime in the wee hours of the morning on the couch in our den. Even while sleeping, the thought kept running through my mind like some awful record that was stuck, "My Daddy is dying....my Daddy is dying...etc..." I was so upset to know that he was going to suffer this horrible, painful death and I just didn't know if I or anybody else was going to be able to take the horrible things that lay ahead of us all. I woke up around 6 am and the first thought that entered my mind was that same old record playing over and over and I just stood there numb under the ceiling fan. I looked out through the sliding glass door in the den (which I had left open when I fell to sleep) and could hear birds singing and saw a beautiful dew all over the grass. None of it felt real. How could the world just keep on going when my Daddy was dying? All these horrible thoughts started fill my mind. Then, I felt something touch the top of my head, like someone placing their hand on a child's head. It took my breath away! A tingling started from the top of my head and spread downward to the tips of my toes. The wierdest thing is that I instantly had the thought "Everything will be ok" enter my mind and I believed it just as quickly. I was filled with an incredible peace. It wasn't like I heard a voice, but something else or someone else entered my mind and told me it would be ok. It was one of the neatest things that ever happened to me and I feel like it was some kind of spiritual being that came down to help me through watching Daddy die.
