A Life Reimagined
As a child, I am driving along with my family on our way to a vacation destination I didn’t know. I had never been here before . . . I was so sure of that. Five brothers and sisters all chatting, fighting or playing car games when suddenly, the road narrows and there is water on both sides of the street. I have been here before.
