Loner

Loner.

The younger I was, the more alone I was. I was in my own fantasy world. I would pretend that my hands were people. I started playing the game Power Rangers in 1993 or so. In other words, I would play by myself. I would run around and pretend that sticks were spaceships. The older I got, the more I begin socializing with others. I was crawling in the dirt and on the floor early on.

Rocking Chair

Rocking Chair.

I remember the very old grandma "Ann" rocking me in our rocking chair in our #163 trailer. This may have been around the year 1988, but I have memories of being rocked by my Aunt Karen Williams in a rocking chair in the basement of her church in Warrenton, Oregon USA before the year 1988, and possibly the year 1986. I am not even sure if I could crawl. I remember seeing board games on the carpet floor in the hallway near the sanctuary of her church, but this may have been the next year or two or more. I think I was able to crawl when I remember seeing my siblings and my cousins, Nathan and Alan Williams, play with the board games on the floor at their church.
