You are most welcome. To receive the answer about your father, I briefly opened up using my gifts of mediumship to ask my angels and guides whether your father crossed over into Heaven and the answer was “yes, right away.” I could have asked your father directly; however, we were not sitting for a formal reading and I was working on getting an answer for you without going into a formal session.
Yes, the numeric formula of the days, weeks, etc. that someone wrote about is not what I have found at all in my experience of communicating with tens of thousands of people in spirit.
Loved ones in spirit often visit us in our dreams, I also write about this in my book, “How Have You Loved?” and in several articles. It does not mean they have not crossed. They also send signs and help us with our lives.
Here is a link to a treasure trove of 150+ articles I have written that will help you better understand what happens when we cross over, how soon we can communicate after crossing, why some people do not cross right away and how they get help to cross, what our loved ones are doing in Heaven, how they send signs, and much, much more:

Here is a link to my book, as well:

You will find the answers you seek in the articles, as well as in my book, as one question often leads to another and to another and to another. I try to help people better understand what exists beyond life on Earth and how our worlds interconnect through the hearts of our spirits.
Sending much peace and many blessings to you.
