I will never play tag in the dark again. I was three years old and I was going to go camping without my pesky little sister. I was so excited to go camping with my Aunt Michelle, Uncle Ken, and cousin Krysten. Krysten at the time was five years old because she is two years older than me. We all pulled into Yogi Bear Park while we were inside the RV. We were settled in and had a spot to park the RV, Krysten and I were taken to do something exciting.

The incident happened in the summer and I was not fully healed until around Thanksgiving so I missed a lot of Preschool. Once I could walk again I used a small, blue, metallic chair for support for a while to help me get around better. Stairs were an entirely different issue. My dad carried me up the stairs as needed until I was fully healed. I got better and better each day after that fall until I was as good as new. Once I was healed I knew I would never play tag in the dark
