Come Running

I was awaken by a nightmare this past week, which centered on my greatest childhood fear.  Or maybe it was listening to this song too many times.

Last night I had a dream
You were in it I was in it with you
Everyone that I knew
And everyone that you know was in my dream.

My mother had a non-verbal solution to notify my sister and I when she was ready to leave whatever store we had been in with her. And that signal was for us to come running to her.  No excuses.  And the most amazing point is that I still respond to my mother's signal.
