10. As it's the anniversary of his passing...

I’ll tell this story.
On the night my now ex’s father died, we spent the evening sitting around and chatting, eating, drinking. It soon came time for bed and my then-BF and I laid down on the air mattress set up for us in the den, which was just off the kitchen and dining room areas (open concept). I can still see this in my minds eye despite not being in this house for many years. Anyway, about 2 or 3 in the morning, I woke up for some reason and looked into the kitchen. BF’s father was standing in the doorway to the dining room, looking in at what I can only assume were the two enormous photo collages that we created for the next morning’s funeral. I said and did nothing. I told my BF weeks later. He shrugged it off. I’m not sure why his dad would’ve appeared to me. He didn’t particularly like me.

Oddly, at the start of the viewing earlier that day, my BF’s niece walked right up to the casket, gave it a pat and said “we’ll play catch again soon, Pa!” She was three, no one told her who was in the casket and it was not open.
