Have you felt the presence of Ricky in your dreams or prayers?

Shannan Griffin
Since he has passed I have felt him several times. I have heard him laugh in my dreams and saw him laugh. I have been stuck on something and not able to remember it and it will pop in my head. Like the other day I was explaining this German game he told us about that he played at Christmas and I could not remember the name of it I was freaking out. Well about two minutes later the word Dradle popped out. I just said thanks dad. I was so relived. I have been trying to make sure I remember everything he told me to do. I know he will be there to walk me thru it.
