There is a road in Tennessee bikers refer to as “The Dragon”. It is an 11 mile stretch of road with 318 curves. There is a hotel called “Deals Gap” where a lot of bikers start the ride. At Deals Gap, they have a collection of photos of pieces of motorcycles that didn’t make it. The caption of the photos say “Sometimes the dragon wins.”
Why do I bring this up? In the past month, there have been two people in the cancer support group that Roni and I belong to that have lost their mothers to this terrible disease. With all of the good news that Roni and I received concerning my battle with cancer, and the many success stories we have heard, it is still important to remember that cancer is still a very deadly disease and not everybody makes it.
Please take a few moments to remember those who have lost their fight with cancer and their families that have to learn to go on without them.
Cancer, like the dragon, sometimes wins.
Kevin
