hopscotch hell

8 years ago- split lip and stitches
2 years old- stitches in left hand
1 year ago- cut finger with an iceskate
3 years ago- dog bite on left wrist
6 weeks ago- sprained left ankle
5 years ago- broken left wrist

As I was playing hopscotch I began to think about all of the injuries that I have experienced throughout my life.  I connected the numbered boxes with injuries according to how old I was or how long ago it happened.  I think that scars act as reminders to us just as much as photographs or home videos.  Each scar tells a story and is something that will stay with a person for the rest of their lives.
