I was on my way to court for a divorce hearing; thinking of how I wish my dad was there to support me. I stopped by the cemetery. I knelt down and hugged his headstone and cried for about 3 minutes. Upon returning to my car, which was his and smells heavily of cigarette smoke (from me)all I could smell was LEMONS. It lasted about 3-4 minutes. I felt peaceful afterwards but confused as to the meaning. I don't relate lemons to my dad. However, the small calmed my anxiety about court.
