Bindy - i know what you mean about missing your Dad at times like these. I lost mine very suddenly the week before we found out that our little one was going to be a boy which kinda hurt a lot as Dad always wanted a boy and was blessed instead with 2 girls - anyhow i believe that he is watching over us and enjoying his grandson and yes i think that children are more open to spirits. I am sure your Dad is watching over you and your family and that Madeleine can see him.
