I MISSED YOU TOO DAD I HAVE BEEN SO SAD SINCE YOUVE BEEN GONE
Well sweetheart, I have some news. I'm not really here, this is just a spirit visit.
WHAT? THAT MEANS YOURE NOT REAL? starts crying
No, no, of course I'm real... well, sort of. You see, when I died, my spirit couldn't rest.
BUT DOESNT THAT MEAN IM JUST TALKING TO MYSELF???
Well, technically, yes. But the beauty of it is, even though I may not be physically here, our bond as father and child can transcend even death itself.
