They say being twenty is supposed to be your prime of your life. I had everything going for me. I was fine financially, had the “guy of my dreams”, and my health. I thought my life was great and nothing was going to ruin it for me until the Yosemite date. I went on this date with boyfriend, my sister, and my brother-n-law.

I cannot explain how everything worked out for me, but I do know that God was in it. With my insurance being switched to a better one right before I got told I was going to have surgery to having my whole surgery paid for. What I paid for having the shots done to my back does not compare how much the surgery was going to
