We slept in canvas tents on wooden platforms at night,

and I could reach my hands up and poke the sides

where the rain pooled. I liked that tent.

I liked how the night sounds were all around me,

and we were almost living in the woods.

What would that be like really?

If we had to survive on our own?

Liza and Kimmy and I all passed the swim test

so we could jump off the high diving board, and this helped.

I missed my Mom so much that I knew it was better

just to swim and not talk about the missing.
