Why can't I say anything? What is going on?
"Hello"
"Hello!"
"HELLO!"
There is nothing but darkness. I can't speak and I can't move. I am living in a nightmare. This can't be the end. I am too young to die.
"Hello? Please someone help!" I try to yell
"Melanie?" I hear a male voice that I barely recognize.
I get the strength to get up and look over. There is a man is standing in a tunnel full of light.
"God is that you?" I ask as I rub my eyes to get a better look.
"Melanie, sweetheart it is me."
"Dad?" I choke up as I respond." Dad is that really you?"
I begin to run towards the tunnel to my father
"Yes Melanie, I am here to help you." He smiles as he wraps his arms around me.
"Help me with what?"
"You have to decide if you are ready. You can spend the rest of eternity in heaven."
"Ready? You mean to die! This can't be real. I must be dreaming." I shake my head. This can't be happening.
"I was given the same choice when I first arrived." My dad explains
"You were?!?" Now I am really confused.
"Yes."
"Why in the world did you decide to go to heaven and not come back to us!" I couldn't help but cry. I was reliving this heartbreak all over again. All the wounds that were partially healed have been ripped open all over again.
"Melanie you don't understand daring. My heart condition was not curable. I couldn't beat the inevitable and it wouldn't have been fair to you and your mother."
"We could have fought together!" I scream "I miss you Dad and I know mom does also."
I collapse to the floor holding my knees to my chest. This is so overwhelming and I am concerned that another migraine is coming anytime now. I rub my head and I feel the bandages there.
"Sweetheart don't mess with those." My dad instructs me as he pulls my hand away from my head.
"So this isn't a dream? I really had a tumor removed?" I ask in disbelief
My dad nods.
"What, what do I do now?" I ask myself but ends up being said aloud.
"That's all up to you honey." My dad comes to sit beside me and the feeling is very nostalgic
"There is no rush sweetheart. We have all the time in the world to visit and catch up." He smiles and I honestly think this is exactly what I want.
