Anh Be is vacationing with his wife and her parents. He deserves a break with his wife's family after so much had happened. He appears very relaxing after the burrial service. We all went out for a big dinner on Nhatrang beach last night. Dad/Cau Nam will be at his side helping him if he loves him.

I am sure you all are praying for Dad/Cau Nam too, so that is it not true that none of his children are praying for him as you said.

The most important thing is to rest assure that Dad/Can Nam is in God's care now and not worry so much about those psychic messages that are hard to separate from our own feelings or senses. I am sure Danh has feelings about Dad/Cau Nam's present, but they are "his feelings" from his "own senses". Each person has a different way of grieving the death of the loved one. We respect these subjective experiences but we don't have to act upon them as universal truth.

One thing for sure now is that Dad/Cau Nam is returning to God. We can pray that whatever there is still burdening to him, may be forgiven by God's mercy. We can rely on God's compassion and the prayers that the Church has taught us about life after death.

Also, Danh said when he woke up and went down the stairs at 1:24 am, before all these dreams, he a the feeling that Dad was standing at the bottom of the stairs, waiting to talk to him.

This was not a dream. He said he sensed Dad's presence very strongly.

To All,

Danh just woke up and told me that he saw Dad several times in his dreams just now. (It's 6 am where we are). Once, in the dream, Danh saw himself with Dad and anh Be'. Anh Be' was sitting, looking down. Dad told Danh to help anh Be, that anh Be really needed help.

Anh Ba, will you please relay this message to anh Be that Dad is worried about him. We have been praying for anh Be' as well. He knows.

In anther dream (the same night), Dad told Danh that he had many children, how come nobody prays for him, to tell his children to pray for him!

If you want to hear this directly from Danh, please feel free to call us and talk him yourself.

Da Thu

Yes, I agree. Such Mass & service in VN seems to be redoning... but it is necessary for our relatives & neighbors back home to have the chance to grief. And each of them would go through grieving differently. They express their various types and intensity of emotions... but all had the chance to say good-bye and to reflect on a life that has touched them in some way. I felt privileged to be there, to listen to their stories of grieving. At least, Cau Nam/Dad's death has given them, and to us, the chance to think of our morality, hence, the meaning of being a husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, cousin, nephew, niece, grand nephew & nieces, neighbors to each other.

Anh Tan:

So good to hear from you and so good to hear that Cau Nam has had a grand homecoming in Nha Trang. It is so comforting to know that Cau Nam is so well loved back home as well as he was here. This will certainly make my parents so envious, as they sure would like to be with Di Hai, Di Ba and Di Bon to share their grief for Cau Nam, and for Cau Nam to be interred at his birthplace near Ong Ba Ngoai, wow! It is a grand homecoming indeed.

Thank you, Anh Tan, and we are looking forward to the pictures.

God bless you, Anh Tan.
