As I read your story, I kept thinking about the times I've stared at my skinned knees and the scabs forming, or the whole tradition of scarring as a rite of passage, demonstrating to the world how you can hold fast in times of great pain, which in turn made you a great leader, an influence and an inspiration to others.

Running, jumping and playing are the best part of being a kid. <br /><br />And I love that picture. I assume that is you? SO cute. I loved me some Spidey myself as a wee lass.
