I wanted to share this incredible story with you guys. These last 2 years have been really hard on me..in 2019 I lost my oldest brother.. gone too soon. Last year, 2 days before my wife and My wedding, i received a call from my mother.. that a tree fell on my father and she thinks he is dead. My father passed away at 61 on 09/23/2020… that night I had a dream with my dad… in my dream my father came to me and said “Ty.. you’re going to have a little one.”
Later that next morning, I shared this dream with my wife and mother. Surprised and confused- because my wife and I were not trying to have a baby. We actually had lost our first baby in the first trimester, so the thought of having another child was a touchy subject still. My mother and wife, felt it possibly my brother who was having the child. A phone call was later made to him… and he shared a very similar response to the one I gave. “My wife and I are not trying.”….
We later had a memorial for my father on 10/12/2020, which marked 30 years my parents would have been married…On our way to the memorial, my wife shared that she was feeling rather sick, so I stopped and got a pregnancy test..well, 9 months later… my son was born. Hayden Christopher. (Named after my father). To add to this story, my brother also found out the same day, that his wife was also pregnant with a baby girl.
To end this story I just wanted to share some of the lessons and feelings of losing my father… to those who have lost your father, you know the pain and emptiness it creates in your life.. my dad was my hero. Even though my father is passed on, I feel his presence everyday. He still guides me and Parents me. That part will never change. Only now, I can’t get away with things behind his back. Lol, he sees everything. I wanted to share some photos of my baby boy. He’s my world. RIP dad, I know you’re watching over us.
Thank you so muchI believe you 100% , Thanks for sharing that wonderful heart touching story .
God Bless
Thanks brother, most definitelyCant wait to meet Hayden. Come buy this ak from me so i can meet him lol. Talk to you soon brother
Thank you Sir. This thread has helped me alittle bit.. almost a form of therapy for meI cant even read this without tearing up thinking about my dad. Congrats on a fine looking son!
Thank you for the very kind and heart felt message. No worries on the Luger, I’m sure we will meet at some point. I’m always finding and trading unique items / pieces of history. I lean more towards collector pieces and rare items, which is why I only have 11 feedback score. LolMy only regret up to this point is not being able to come to a deal on the Luger you were selling. Purely my fault because of my lack of education on the gun. It's not the loss of a chance to own a Luger, it's the fact I haven't had the chance to meet the genuinely good person selling it.
2020 was very difficult. I lost two grandparents a week apart, a cousin, an aunt and my dog I had since a pup. Heavy year for sure. Your dad will continue to touch and bless your family's lives. Just like many I'm sure he wasn't afraid to die, just afraid of not existing and keeping his memory alive will have him smiling down while he watches over you.
Thanks for sharing your story and pictures.
