I dreamed about my father last night. I have never dreamed about my father before. Normally, my grandfather, one of my brothers, or some other male acquatiance appears in my dreams, but not my father. Anyway, my father was in the dream and he offered to take my mother and myself to pick up food. I also found twenty-six cents in the dream.
In the dream, my father looked the way I remembered him. The last time I saw my father I was very young. I remember a tall handsome man. I have pictures of my father and he looked the same as in the photos. My father passed on to the next world several years ago.
I learned about his death by reading his obituary on the internet. That is a difficult way to learn about the death of a relative, but that is how I learned about his death. I wanted to meet my father before he died and say "I love you, daddy." However, now the only thing I can do is find his grave and put flowers on it.

It’s Sunday Morning in Las Vegas
Jamál (Beauty), 19 Sharaf (Honor), 165 BE – Sunday, January 18, 2009 about 6:40 AM Pacific Time
It's Sunday morning in Las Vegas and the sun is just rising. I've been up since 4:00 AM, in that time I put eye drops in Mom's eyes, give her today's first pill, made coffee, washed and dried one load of cloths, and got on line. My Internet connection is too slow and my browser refuses to let me use more then two tabs for tab browsing. Normally I can use three, but this morning it's being difficult.
My mother lived in Las Vegas right after she and my father were married, which was during World War II. Mom worked as a maid, which meant making beds and stuff like that, at University Medical Center (the hospital wasn't called that at the time Mom and Dad lived here). My Dad was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base because he was in the Army Air Corp.
Things have changed a lot since World War II, but some of the difficulties we face today are the same as those faced by people then. Apparently, the old saying is true "The more things change the more they stay the same."
My parents divorced when I was in grade school. I remember my father as a tall and handsome man. Most of my memories concern my grandfather, who was my father figure after my parents divorce. I don't remember seeing a lot of my father after the divorce and since he died a few years ago I won't get to see him in this world.

Coffee and Memories
Istiqlál (Independence), 10 Sharaf (Honor), 165 BE – Friday, January 9, 2009 about 8:01 AM Pacific Time
Drinking coffee brings back pleasant memories for me. Both my father and my grandfather were coffee drinkers. I learned to drink coffee from Grandpa Newland. When I was very young, about 3 or 4, I was sitting on my Dad's lap and he was reading the Sunday morning Comics to me. While he was reading, he was drinking coffee. I reach up, pulling the cup of hot coffee onto my lap. Dad rushed me to the hospital.
You would think that after that experience, I wouldn't want to drink coffee, but that isn't the case. I enjoy coffee. I enjoy all the memories that accompany a cup of coffee. For me coffee is a comfort food. Another thing about coffee that is interesting is that it doesn't keep me awake. I can drink coffee before right going to be and still sleep.
Coffee memories
pour across my waking mind
warm the cold sunrise.

I got out of my rut today
Jamál (Beauty), 14 ‘Izzat (Might), 165 B.E. – Sunday, September 21, 2008 about 3:22 PM Pacific time
I got out of my rut today I bought a Sunday newspaper. I haven't bought a Sunday paper in over a year. Normally, I get my news off the Internet or T.V., but today I decided that I needed a newspaper. The Sunday paper comes with a free weekly T.V. guide, for the past year I've watched T.V. without consulting a T.V. schedule.
All right, I've watched mostly talk shows and news. Not many dramas or anything like that, I do watch the public broadcasting station once in a while, but that's it. Now I can actually consult a schedule and see if there is anything worth watching.
The one thing I did miss about the Sunday newspaper was the comics. I have fond memories of Sunday comics. I remember sitting on my father's lap, while he drink coffee and read the Sunday comics to me. Maybe that's why I like the Sunday comics so much. I don't have a lot of memories about my father, he and my mother divorced when we were young.
