Bonanza

This happened in 2014. I had finally decided to try out a DVR, since it was included with the satellite dish package I purchased.

Mind you I never really learned how the thing worked, so I never got much use out of it. However one day, I noticed that it had recorded something on it's own. I found it strange because I had never really sat down and figured out how to operate it.

Naturally I was curious as to WHAT it had recorded, so I pushed play and to my surprise it was a recording of an old show called ' Bonanza '. The only time I had ever heard of this show was from my Dad when I was a kid. But here it was. Even more peculiar was that it only recorded part of an episode. I was taken a back by the whole thing and decided to just leave it for a few days.

During those few days I kept thinking about it and wondering HOW this could even be, WHAT it was all about.

My Dad had passed away about a year prior to this and I began thinking that maybe he was trying to tell me something. So I finally sat down to watch the recording. In this partial episode it involved a Dad and his sick daughter. She was bed ridden and the father was grieving at her bed side.

The father seemed so concerned for his daughter, and wanted to help her but could not. He sat there and tried comforting her with his words, as she lay dying. Then the recording ended.

I knew that up until this point I had already dealt with several health issues and surgeries, while he was alive and he had been there for me. So I couldn't help but wonder if my Dad could now forsee some new health concerns, since he was no longer living. Was he trying to warn me?

Not too long after this I began having new health problems and am still having issues that I am currently seeking help for. And I've had to have more surgeries too.

I honestly feel like my Dad was trying to tell me of these health issues and that perhaps he wanted to be here for me, but could not.
