Sometimes The Dragon Wins

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.
