Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM.

Triumph 111. Cindy, welcome to the program.

Oh, thank you, Dr. Laura, for taking my call. I'm calling with not a serious problem, but with something that I would love to hear your take on.

And it's just about a dream, it's a recurring dream that I have. I've never had a recurring dream except for this one in my entire life.

And it involves my former husband who I was not married to at the time he became a diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. But I took care of him. It threw out that illness until...

All right, he was your husband, but he wasn't your husband or was that about timing? I did not understand. Please explain it to me again please.

Sure, he was my husband, but we were divorced. But we were made as very dear friends. When he became diagnosed, I took care of him. I loved him dearly. It was like a no-brainer for me to take care of him until he passed away. And we have a son. My only son.

Why were you divorced? We were divorced because he became... well, he became very ill with PTSD. He was a Vietnam veteran. And he... we divorced because he completely fell apart, disintegrated. He could not... he could not function. And I was not able to take care of him. My son, pay for all bills. He had run up a lot of debt. It was an impossible, moving situation.

What condition? Where was he placed when you left? He was hospitalized at the VA for treatment. So time went on. We did stay very good friends the whole time.

Okay, Cindy. Cindy. I see a pattern. He became terribly ill and you brought him back into your life. He died and you bring him back into your dream.

I guess you did love him a lot. Well, that's why you re-entertain him and your dreams.

Okay. Do you want to hear the pattern of the dream?

What makes you think? What is it? What more is it you want to know?

I guess that's it. If that's how you see it, it makes sense to me. It's your pattern with him.

Yes. Yes. I would bring him back to life if I could. I mean, that's the way I take care of him.

Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. Oh, gosh. Thank you. Thank you.

So love definitely does not die. You know, I love for him and I've given his love for me to possibly.

Yes. That's right. This seems to be proof of that.

Yes. Definitely. Oh, gosh. That's that's that warms my heart and it reinforces my spiritual beliefs in the power of love and that every lastingness of love.

And that means a lot to me, Dr. Boyle. Thank you very much.

You're very welcome. Take care.
