Finding out that they made the choice they did for her doesn't inspire the same confidence they did before. They're just such a huge part of her life that no matter how angry she is, she still thinks of them.] and my son, Henry, all had some pretty bad nightmares as the side effect of a sleeping curse.

My dad's trick is to light a candle and leave it by the bed. He says it catches nightmares. [Whether it's true or not, Henry bought into it until most of the nightmares wore away.] Eventually, that might be something to try. You can't stay awake forever.

[Think of it as a safety net, just in case.]

But since that won't help you tonight, we could just keep asking each other questions.
