You never think it could happen to you. Ever.
Our not so amazing day.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. My sweet 2.5 year old playing around, laughing, and giggling. It was a normal day for us. Just her and I sitting around having fun. Daddy was at work and, at the time, she was an only child. It was a good morning. Then, while she was sitting on the arm of the couch, she fell off. She had fallen from much higher surfaces. She had done some seriously much crazier stunts. But this one time was enough to do damage. She had broken her arm.
I knew enough to know that kids heal quickly and that she would be back to normal in just a few short weeks. What I didn’t know at the time, is that even though we had insurance, the cost of a simple fall would be in the thousands. The bills continued to come in and every time I was shocked at how much was covered and how much we still owed. I couldn’t imagine being a family in a situation where they didn’t have health coverage. Our lives literally could have changed in that moment.
