It was a hot day in San Diego. I can only guess what time of year, because my little brain had no use for days and months. My parents took advantage of the weather and drove us down to the beach. After being slathered in sunscreen, my parents let me wander around. The sun was in my eyes and the saltwater splashed at my chubby little ankles.
My dad took my hand as we walked into the surf. We got deeper into the waves and suddenly he disappeared. I found myself all alone in the ocean. It felt like there was no one for miles. I searched and searched for the familiar green of my father’s swim trunks. While I was looking, a wave caught me off guard. It hit my back and I flipped head over heals underwater. I imagined myself swirling under the waves
