Let It Ride

A Person's Timeline

When the highlight of my life is going to the drive-thru in McDonald’s, then I realize things are getting desperate. When driving on the freeway on a rainy day is exciting, then I know my standards for “a cheap date, fun time” have really plummeted.

This is the year 2020, one that will never be forgotten. While 1939-1945 will never forgotten for the massive loss of life, those years were during a horrific war. The same can be said about WW1, Civil War, and all the way back in time. Some years will never be forgotten.

But, again this is 2020. This is the year when a massive pandemic has wrapped itself around the world and randomly chosen its victims, ones that are part of communities. Librarians, mechanics, babysitters, and more can be added to the numbers as part of statistics.

The thing is that technology collects every number and statistic running, every decision and when it was made. There is the evaluating secrets or re-writing history just to fit in the puzzle of politics.

Let it ride. Let it ride and let time show. Be noble. Be the best of yourself. 

Always remembered

Everywhere

Even now, their faces are still clear in my mind.  The way their eyes sparkled when talking about their students. The way they smiled at each child who came their way.  I remember them.

Even now, I can hear their voices, telling stories about their days with their students. I remember them.

Even now, my late friends are still part of me.

These precious women left this earth when breast cancer took them.  

Did you know...

One in eight women will develop breast cancer.

In the U.S., there are over 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer. This included women who have been diagnosed, have been treated, and/or are currently under treatment. 

Every person knows, will know, or has known a woman with breast cancer.

85% of breast cancer diagnoses occur in women who have absolutely no history of breast cancer in their family.

One out of one-thousand men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Some of my friends were cured, but some were not. I remember both. Do you?


Recently, my mammogram results necessitated a needle biopsy. Results were benign, God's Hand with me all the way.  This will require frequent mammograms and ultrasound.
