>i dreamt about my father
>[he died of throat cancer in 1977]
>we were standing side by side
>watching some major construction and earth-moving work
>going on at st. george's harbour here

>[oh, the layers and layers of significance]
>he held his arm tightly about my waist
>we shared the thought that
>he hadn't been able to express affection physically
>he had never hugged me
>i teased him "well, it's about time, dad!"
>he acknowledged that and held me more snugly
>we stood there side by side comfortably
>watching the on-going work
>more tears on awakening
>but tears of joy
