called for camping, boating, and riding the wooded trails on our four-wheelers. On a regular basis, our backyard hummed with friends and family barbeques. My father and I developed a passion for arrowhead hunting, of which I have fond memories. Snowball fights, snowman building, and bike riding on the snow and ice filled our winter days. Even though it seemed as if I had the perfect childhood, my…
