I contracted meningococcal meningitis at age four.
We were living in Burien, Washington, in a single-wide trailer near the Sea-Tac Airport.

Magnolia Park Elementary creates butterfly garden to honor late teacher By Jasmine Lotts | April 1, 2021 at 6:19 PM CDT - Updated April 1 at 8:17 PM
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) - Family, friends, students and staff members had nothing but smiles Thursday as they sat through the butterfly garden ceremony celebrating a Magnolia Park Elementary teacher, whose death impacted the community tremendously.
Patricia Hodges was an educator for more than 40 years, and she taught kindergarten for 26 years. Unfortunately, Hodges passed away from a stroke in 2020. Before Hodges retired, each spring she would raise butterflies with her class and release them, and this year her tradition still lives on. (Source: WLOX)
