When I saw my leg, I started to run again. She looked down at my leg and told me that I was bleeding. I could hear my sister calling me, so I stopped. I hit the glass very hard, and kept running as fast as I could. As I was running backward to slide again, I did not notice the big glass behind me.

He would push the lid back, and we would put our hands down into the cold ice and pulled up different flavors. He would look down and smile at us and offer us a drink. My Uncle Golden would be on the back of his truck with an old drink cooler. Every year in June, we would have homecoming at church and people would have their tables set with food as far as you could see. Every now and then, an older man we called Uncle Lonnie would swipe one with his fan as he began to pray. The amazing thing was I never saw anyone get stung by a bee. We had cool water on the front porch with little white pointed paper cups. Every now and then, I could feel a breeze enter through the windows.

The windows would be up, and we would all have fans fanning trying to stay cool. Often, on Sunday mornings, my grandmother and grandfather would take us to that little white church. It is so ironic that their last name is Wells. My grandmother, her dad and his dad dug wells for a living. Back in the early 1960s, I can remember going to a little white church named Oak Grove Methodist Church in a small city of Gordo, Alabama.

The last two days were very strange to me.
