Prompt: “Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.”--Cormac McCarthy

What do your scars say about your past?

I keep adding to my collection of scars and it’s not intentional. What they say to me is I’ve lived a long time!
My oldest scar is between my little and next toe. It reminds me of the time I was about five years old and stuck a garden fork through my foot. I had a lift to the docs on the crossbar of dad’s bike.
Can I count stretch marks as scars? My twin pregnancy scarred me for life.
Long scars down the outside of both legs reminds me of my gluteal repairs. These remind me of the surgeon telling me I was too old for the ops and to get a mobility scooter. Now I’m walking, almost normally.
Scars tell of a life lived.
