He left a message on my voicemail from the grave

Warning: long post, if you've been triggered by medical issues or accidents then please skip this post. I don't want to be responsible for putting anyone in a dark place. <br><br>My Dad passed away May 20, 2021. He'd been telling us for the last 10 years that he's not afraid of dying. My husband asked him why he wasn't worried about dying, but my Dad said he didn't know, that he just wasn't. He said that it could be a good thing, but that he didn't know that either. <br><br>The day he passed, he was in an accident and was pronounced brain dead. They kept him alive to donate his organs. He passed at 3:26pm, but his heart stopped at 7:42pm. <br><br>A few weeks before his death, I was getting ready for work, and I was on the phone with my mom. I realized I had a voicemail from her, and I asked her to hold on while I listened to it. I was confused because it was my Dad talking, saying it was June 1st, and that he's sorry that he wasn't there for Mother's Day. <br><br>My mom said that it wasn't June 1st, and that it wasn't Mother's Day, so I tried to pull up the call log, but the number was my own. Then she said "was that your Dad?". I tried redialing, but it went straight to voicemail.<br><br>I listened to the message a few more times, until my mom said, "if you listen to it anymore, you'll not be able to hear it." I put the phone down, until after Dad had passed. <br><br>I listened to the message again, and written down the date he said. One day, I decided to look at my call logs, and there it was. June 1st, 2021. I pulled up the message, and that's when I heard everything he said, and I never noticed before, but it was following a conversation that he and I had on the phone. <br><br>The last thing he said was "I'll always be with you, even when I'm gone." I asked if he was unhappy with me, but he said no, that he loved me more than he could ever say. I asked if he was afraid of dying now, but he said no, that he was ready. He was still saying he didn't know why. <br><br>I asked him to tell me, and he said he couldn't. I then had the thought that maybe he was able to communicate something to me through this message, and that thought came just in time because the message ended and I didn't hear anything else. <br><br>A few days later, I got a call from an unknown number, and it was a voicemail notification. It freaked me out, because the message was dated June 1st again, and all it was was him laughing. <br><br>This happened a number of times, with different dates, and it was following a conversation we had about a project I was working on. The last message I got was January 2, 2022, and it was a text from him that said "I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye." <br><br>There was another voicemail that I got that I'm not sure if I recorded right, but I think he said "I'm going to take my car in on the 19th." This is the day of the accident. I tried listening to it a few more times, but it didn't sound quite right. <br><br>I also got a text from my husband that said "I love you." I asked him about it, and he told me it wasn't him. So I asked who it was, and he said it was my Dad. I asked him to elaborate, and he just said "no, you don't want to know, just be glad that you got to hear from him." <br><br>This entire experience has been both frightening and comforting. I'm glad that I got to hear from him, but now I have so many questions.
