I was there at the hospital when my mom had breast cancer.
I was there in the crowd when Lincoln freed the slaves.
I was there, sleeping in our house when our neighbor’s trailer blew up next to our house, almost setting it on fire.
I was there at our friend’s house, having a party, watching the inauguration, when Obama became president.
I was there in the physiatrist’s office, when I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD.
I was there in a corn field and forest, in front of a lake, in my dream.
