When I was a little girl, I loved to go to the beach with my family.

We would get to the beach and I remember so well, we had this huge red umbrella that we drilled down in the sand.

We'd put our beach blanket out, get our ice chest, get our spot ready for a day at the beach.

And as soon as it was set, I'd take off to the water.

I could spend hours out in the waves just having such a good time.

And one day I had been out there, seems like for

several hours.

In fact, I had made it to the second sandbar.

Now, if you know what those sandbars are, they're deep spots and then you get on the sandbar and it's like you're on the shore.

You can be way out and you can be just up to your knees.

So I had made my way all the way out to the second sandbar.

I wanted my family to see me from shore because I thought I am really done well today.

So I stood up and I began to wave my hands looking for my family.

I was searching everywhere for where our spot was, where we had set that red umbrella.

when I realized I could see a lot of people, I could see a lot of things, but I couldn't spot my family.
