THE DREAM last night I had a dream me and my wife and little girl were out in a field riding the four wheeler. My wife walked away and my little girl 16 months walked off behind her. Then my wife came back but my little girl wasn't with her. I was like where is she and she didn't know she had followed. We jumped on the bike and rode and rode but couldn't find her. We kept looking then I woke up.
