This Scar

Dear 7 year old Mateo, falling down the stairs rolling into a wall after running down the stairs. It was late at night. I was running because my parents were watching a movie. Yes it hurt.

Hi Mateo. I would stop running in the house because you could get hurt if you fall again. That’s not good.

Hi Mateo. I’m teaching to not run in the house. It will end bad and that’s not good. You can run outside all you want. You will because it will be safe and that’s what I want.

The future will be better because I won’t have the scar. I believe you can stop running in the house. Life will be the same without the scar and life will be better without getting hurt. And better things are to come. Enjoy the times.
