One of the most significant days of my life happened when I was twelve. It was a cold, snowy December day. There was at least three inches of snow covering the ground. My cousin Rachael and Aunt Lavonne were visiting from Alabama for Christmas.

If I had not fractured my foot, it is possible that I would never know that I had a bone
