It has been nearly 84-hours since my visitation. My sleep, which has never been great, has been further disrupted with dreams bordering on nightmares of his coming and going. Did I meet a man, a demon, an angel? I don’t know because of my confusion in this matter. After analyzing and reanalyzing much of what…
