Special Dream Nov 4th Intervew on the radio

Yesterday I was interviewed on the radio that will air on Sunday, Nov 8th on a local FM station called WASH FM. The host was Lori Brooks and she has a program on Sunday mornings (early) called "Women of Vision" and the interview went well. I was on her show just over a year ago and afterwards there was a big spike on the web site and I also got a call from this nice gentleman who told me to call this lady, because he knew she had a special dream. I did and it's one of my favorite stories in the book. Here it is.

Introduction: I met my husband when we were in college, and we were married for thirty-two years before he died from lymphoma in October 2000.

Special Dream: I was in my bed when my husband appeared in the door and he said to me, “I’m going to have to leave.” During our thirty-two years of marriage, he would always say he would never leave me, and so now (in the dream) I asked him, “Why?” He never answered me why he just said, “I just have to, but you will be okay, everything will be alright.”

Then he said he wanted to show me where he was living, and it was so lavish and well-appointed and laid out. It was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I started to get upset with him, thinking that he was doing all this behind my back and setting up this beautiful place for himself without my knowledge, so I said to him, “How long have you been putting this place together?” He said not long, and he kept reassuring me that I would be okay. He showed me his king-size bed and we sat down on it and talked for awhile. Then it was time for me to go, so I started to leave.

To test him I took some of the beautiful things he had in his bedroom with me, to see if he would challenge me, but he was very loving and said, “That’s okay, you can take anything you want.” He kept telling me not to worry, everything would be fine and I would be taken care of.
