Chasing the dream. This story contains it all to make you laugh, cry and then sit back and think about how true this story really is. We all chase dreams and when our luck changes for the better we want more. The wife sees more clearly and is more level headed knowing that she will be there beside her husband no matter what. She is his pearl.
