Last night I had this dream... I was on a road trip with a guy and a little girl. This was my family. We were traveling west. I was in the passenger seat, he was driving and she was in the back. When we reached the mountains I was so happy as I always am when the landscape changes so drastically. Looking out of the window at the shifting scene, I said "Thank you for driving us west" and I meant it. We stopped at a gas station and the little girl, my daughter, gave me a hug but she squeezed so hard that it felt like my ribs were being crushed. It was the most painful hug I have ever felt and so I got upset and told her to stop. It was only a dream but it felt real. The wonder and the pain of it all.
