I talked to Ari at about 3PM 12-18-2009
Immediately upon checking in with Ari I got the impression that it was hard work to move or keep his muscles going. Shoulders ache. Elbows ache – something systemic is coursing through his body (a systemic illness or disease). Pain in left knee. Everything feels old. 
Ari: (proudly) I should not have been walking this whole time, but I did it. [Marilyn’s note: He says this as though he should not have been able to even walk or get on as well as he has these past months, but he is proud of his ability to override his body and still have a good quality of life. He shows me a picture of him just lying down and watching – watching everything that is going on around him. It’s very peaceful. He likes to be able to just sit and observe.]
Ari: They came for me last night, but I told them to go. I wanted to say good-bye [to Laurel] and the time was not appropriate when they came so I sent them away. [Marilyn’s note: he shows me a beautiful array of spirits - so light and bright… a full entourage ready to escort him to the other side, but Ari was firm in his decision to stay until he could say good-bye to you in his own way. He did not want to ‘die in his sleep’ he wanted to be with you when he left.] You are a good mom!
[Now he shows me a picture of how he will cross, it is an image of his body lying and you at his head. The body is empty/hollow and very dead and his spirit rises out of it, a feeling of floating and total release – very peaceful, very zen. He calls this “Spirit Release”
Ari: It’s okay. You’ll [Laurel] be okay. It’s time for Brita now. You’ve taken good care of me and I of you.
[He tells me it’s not just his skeletal/muscular systems failing, but also his heart and organs.
Marilyn: Ari, did you tell her [Laurel] it was time.
Ari: Not yet. I don’t want to go, but my body says otherwise. My body is making this decision for me, but we will see each other again. I’m going to see Teddy and we have some work to do together. There are others there that wait for me, too. They have been waiting a long time, because I was supposed to have left this plane already. And I could have left, too, if I wanted to. But I did not want to and I am stronger than my body, or at least I was… for a while. I love my life. I love my love [Laurel], and I love my friends [other dogs and Joshua].
[He shows me a picture of a fire or a bonfire in your back yard]
{Back end and hips are not working, poop and pee is difficult to control/hold] He says: sorry about that.
He says: He wanted to be with you today when he goes, so he waited for you. He loves you so, so very much. You are only separated by dimension, which is an illusion. In truth you are One and neither of you could love the other any more. You have his heart. You have done right by him and you have learned much from each other. Hold on to what you know and be You.
