One day, Tosha asked Don, Really Don, total truth.
Has anything ever happened that made you wonder if you had the full picture?
Anything ever rock your perfect little rational world?
At 3am, Don awoke with a pounding heart and heard his roommate calling his name, twice.
But the room was empty.
But it felt more like the car was driving itself to the side of the road several blocks away.
Man, you gotta be kidding me.
This didnt change your life at all?
No way," said Don.
“I had to see it all as a coincidence.
If I hadnt, I would have had to question everything.
For two months, Lisby tried everything to recover the harp.
The police got involved.
She contacted instrument dealers all over the country.
A CBS TV news story even aired.
The harp was lost.
Try calling a dowser.
But Lisbys friend told her that really good dowsers could find not just underground water, but lost objects.
At a loss, Lisby figured she had nothing to lose.
She asked Harold if he could help her locate the harp.
Harold said, Give me a second.
Ill tell you if its still in Oakland.
He was silent for a moment and then said, Well, its still there.
Send me a street map of Oakland and Ill locate that harp for you.
Lisby overnighted Harold a map of Oakland.
Two days later, he called to give her the address of where the harp was located.
Lisby had never heard of the street he named, but she passed the information along to the police.
The police shook their heads.
They couldnt issue a search warrant based on a hunch.
Three days later, her phone rang.
A man said that his neighbor had recently showed him the exact harp the flyer was describing.
In spite of how life-threatening his surgeries were, his patients never seemed to die.
She helped him pinpoint exactly when the headaches began.
It turns out the headaches started right when he stopped teaching medical students and residents at the university hospital.
Why did he stop teaching?
He was reluctant to tell her, but he finally confessed.
Thenand only thenhe knows it’s safe to operate.
But how can he teach this to medical students?
Surely he can’t train residents to look for halos around people with brain tumors and aneurysms?
The neurosurgeon was stuck.
He felt he couldn’t tell anyone at the university that he sees white lights nobody else sees.
Surely, it would ruin his reputation.
By betraying what was true for him, he was getting migraines.
The 100+ stories that came in touched my heart.
Here are a few.
I just started telling his best friend, “Go find Landon!
Go find Landon!”
His friend knows my “gut” instinct level well and took off down the beach.
He finally got to my brother where a lifeguard had saved him from the undertow.
Her face immediately crumpled as she nodded her head and leaned into me.
I’m not sure how long we stood there with our arms wrapped around one another.
My family was beyond upset with me.
The kids were excited about living in this town, but my gut flat out refused.
There was nothing to explain this feeling.
The town was perfect, and the home was lovely.
I just felt that it was the wrong choice.
I am typically accommodating and flexible, but in this instance, I was adamantly against the idea.
We settled on a home within our own town.
We moved in June, and the kids started school in September.
On December 14, 2012, the unthinkable happened at Sandy Hook Elementary school.
