CA3 Strange experiences

The strange request
I thought it was going to be a normal
night, one year after my father's death in
2002. I still thought of him every day, but
I never expected what was about to
happen.
One night, while was reading the V for
Vendetta comic, I suddenly heard a
familiar voice. It was my father's voice,
and I thought I was dreaming. He said, "I
want you to take my ashes to
Hondarribia. That's where I want to rest."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I
still think I dreamed it.
The next day, I told my mother about what had happened to me, and if he had ever said that, but she
said no. She believed me, and a week later, we accomplished his request. The next week, we arrived
in Hondarribia, a place we already knew because we had been there with him. I felt a sense of peace
and a special connection.
It was a beautiful place overlooking the sea. We his threw ashes, and a gentle breeze carried them out
to sea. It was an emotional moment, and I felt that my father was finally at peace.
Finally, Hondarribia has become my pilgrimage site, and even though I have doubts if it was a dream,
what's even stranger is coming to this conclusion without him telling me.
