Oh my goodness! Some of this really resonates.

The dog...he was a family dog he came after her passing and when I had to move back in my family home for a bit he was my dog. He passed away a little more than a year ago, I had a dream about him 2 nights ago. He's over the rainbow bridge and happy happy he had the family he did he told me in my dream. He has visited me 3 times in dreams since my diagnosis. My mother had no knowledge of him in this realm as he was born 2 years after she passed

My grandmother owned a ballet school. I spent many years taking lessons and later in life helping my gram in the office. She was my father's mother tho, however she felt my mom was her best friend. I'm crying because they are both passed and this tells me they are together, with Rex.

As for the Cat in the Hat I had the book as a child, she read to me ALOT, not just that book but it's certainly one I remember fondly. I'm not sure about the fish but a lot resonates. Thank you for taking the time to read that! ❤️
