This is story is inspired by true life incidents and a real
dream. 
Part
1
There is this woman, a very lonely and sad woman, but she was so
very beautiful. No one ever knew why this woman was always so
sad.... People in town knew that the woman had been hurt, for she
was a very private woman, not very sociable, and you could tell she
had many wounds.
She went through life always wondering what really happened to her
father, he died in prison a long time ago, and never knew the truth
of his death. He incarcerated most of her life and his life for a
crime he didn't commit. He suffered many, many years there. And he
died there, a young age of 46. She was lied to about his death, the
prison said it was a heart attack and died at the hospital, the
ambulance staff and hospital said he was dead on arrival, the
autopsy doctor said it was a hanging and then changed the
story...
When she called the hospital to inquire about her father they
transferred her to the police department, they would not tell her
anything, they wouldn't even let a family member identify the body
because they said that he was awarded to the state. So no one ever
found out the truth of her fathers death and this ate at her for
many years.
Then one night she had a dream.....
She is in front of this window in a old attic in a beautiful two
story house, a house she had never been to before. She looks out a
window in this attic to see the ocean and waves forming into hands
calling to her as she hears a sweet melody, a jewelry box melody,
like the sound of the same jewelry box melody that her father gave
to her when she was very little and still to this day has this
jewelry box. Not knowing where the music is coming from, she looks
behind her only to see a woman's black dress (old fashioned) and a
mans suit dancing together, with no one in it, they were dancing in
air, floating, she is bewildered, but not afraid, she looks out
back towards the window, the waves still calling her name.
The music then stops, and she turns around again to see a old man
in the suit but the black dress still empty, still dancing. She
walks up to the old man, he had gray hair and his built was stocky,
not that tall.
She asks him, 'where is my grandmother', he says ' in heaven', she
then asks, 'where is my grandfather', he says ' in heaven', and
then she asks him, 'where is my father?' and he says ' in hell!'
She gets scared but she does not believe him and asks him to take
her to him, she didn't care where her father was, she just wanted
to see him.
So she follows this old man down a flight a steps, they end up in
this most beautiful kitchen, everything in it was pure white, she's
never seen such white in her life, it was so bright.... He steps
over to a counter that looks like a bar, he is standing on one side
and she is standing on the other side of it, she then says to the
old man again, 'please take me to my father, I don't care where he
is, please take me to him.' So this old man looks at her in her
eyes, he had the most ebony eyes she had ever seen, there was no
pupil, just pure black eyes.
As she was looking into his eyes she went into this trance, like
she was going into this mans eyes, she then calasped, and then all
she could see was pure red, like swaying red, almost like a slow
moving river, it was a red she had never seen, nothing in her
lifetime....She felt as if she was going down, deeper and deeper,
then all of a sudden she heard someone calling her name from a
distance...
"Sherri, Sherri... you don't have to go there Sherri, come back
Sherri... You can see your father, but you don't have to go there
to see him, it's a lie Sherri, come back...."
She awoke or came out of the trance and when she did, the old man
was gone and there in front of her was this beautiful woman with
long straight black hair smiling at her and she whispered,
"You don't have to go there Sherri to see your father"...
The lady then looked down another flight of stairs and at the end
of the stairway was a door with a small window and in the window
she saw her father.... She started running down the stairs as fast
as she could, but seeming like it was taking forever to get to the
door, she just kept running and running, and finally she came to
the door and her father ran away, ran off.... She started chasing
him...
(Outside of the house there was a pier on the right side of the
house, with the ocean about, on the left side of the house was a
slow moving stream with mountains and beautiful forest)
He ran up to the pier and she was chasing him, and while she was
chasing him on the pier she noticed two other small children
running with her calling out, 'Daddy please stop, daddy please stop
running'....she also noticed below her the ocean floor for there
were large cracks on the pier, the ocean was moving rapidly.
Her father finally came to the end of the pier and jumped off into
the yard, ran across the yard and then stopped near the river and
as she jumped off the pier she noticed that the two other children
were gone, but didn't really acknowledge it, she also ran across
the yard, and as she began to get closer to her father, the woman
with the beautiful black hair appeared in front of her, just
smiling, and she then turned to look at her father, as well as
she...
They were about 5 feet from each other, she couldn't get any
closer, he was wearing blue-jeans and a black t-shirt, sleeves
rolled up, white socks and black penny loafer shoes they use to
wear in the sixties, he was very handsome and seemed young,
probably a time when she last remembered seeing him, which was when
she was 12 years old.
She then said to her father, "I Love you daddy and I miss you so
very much."
He finally said to her, "I Love you too Sherri, I always have,
never a day went by that I didn't love you"...
He then bent down on his knee, one elbow resting on the knee, he
looked down with a sad face and then looked up at his daughter, and
said "I was murdered Sherri"...
And then she woke up...she got her answer....
