We continued to my friend’s restaurant, talking more about what had just happened. Astonishing as it was, we both believed that we had witnessed a UFO. It blew our minds! (It turned out later that this was really true – Lawry had intended to continue to talk about business during dinner, but now could no longer think in logical terms). We began to talk about feelings, then attitudes & then belief systems. To our mutual surprise, we were very much on the same wavelength. As we drove back to the hotel after dinner, I was excited to have discovered our commonality (he felt the same). That night, I was awakened by a vivid dream that included Lawry. The next morning, when he and Khaled came by to begin work, I was stunned when he described that the identical thing had happened to him, with me appearing in his dream. We began to look into each other’s eyes a little more searchingly. Later that day, my gardener came into the house and asked if she could cut down the weeping cherry tree that was in the front yard. I asked: “Why would you want to do that? I saw it yesterday and it was setting bloom.” She looked at me and said: “It must have died last night.” “Trees don’t die overnight.” I went out to the front lawn and was shocked to find the tree shriveled and bone dry. Almost immediately, the realization flashed into my mind: “My late husband’s ashes are buried under this tree. I think he realized it was time to say goodbye.” During the long illness that claimed his life, he apologized for his condition many times and spoke about how he wanted me to have a better life. “Oh my gosh, has it arrived?”
