I woke up at 4am after a dream about Pax.It actually wasnt about Pax it was about grief in regards to him.In the dream I was sitting at a round table with my husband and a woman.I couldnt see her face but I feel like she had short blonde hair and a kind face.She said, Dont let them push you out o...
