I remember being 8 years old, sitting on the floor of my bedroom, completely lost in my toys. It was just a regular afternoon \u2014 quiet, peaceful. Then the door creaked open, and my dad walked in. He sat down beside me, gently, like he didn\u2019t want to scare me. He didn\u2019t say much at first, just watched me for a moment. Then he leaned in close and whispered softly, \u201cDon\u2019t ever leave Mom alone, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His voice was calm but serious, and he kissed the top of my head before standing up and walking out of the room. It didn\u2019t feel strange at the time. He\u2019d always been gentle like that \u2014 loving, protective. I just nodded and kept playing. But not even ten minutes later, my mom burst into the room.

She tried to stay calm, but through her tears, she said something that shattered everything.\u201dYour dad\u2026 he died this morning.\u201d I just stared at her, confused. What did she mean? I had just seen him. He was just\u00a0here<\/em>, talking to me,whispering like he always did when something was important. But he was gone. That was the saddest day of my life. And no matter how many years go by, it still doesn\u2019t make sense. How could he have died in the morning\u2026 if I saw him that afternoon? To this day, I don\u2019t know how to explain it. But I know what I saw. And I\u2019ll never forget what he told me. \u201cDon\u2019t ever leave Mom alone.\u201d And I never did.<\/p>\n
