A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles
Christopher Reeve
I had an earworm playing in my mind this morning as I carefully did my chores. Feed the cats, get water for the cats, i even had my regular BM (don’t ask).
I had to share the song below. I will however warn you it will play over and over in your mind.
It also sent my mind in 50 directions. Watching The Wizard of Oz was a much loved yearly event when I was a child.
It is funny that I ended up dating and marrying the wicked witch, without the ruby slippers. Now I amazed at how mich movies and tv shaped my life. I grew up without parents. They lived in the same house, but were not really present.
I have said this before: my fathers were characters in movies from the sixties. The actors Wayne, Marvin, Bronson, Connery and many others. I tried to emulate their characters all my life. The heroes.
I am not the man my sociopath x paints me as. Never was. I am the one that would give up my life to save another. It is probably why I volunteered to serve in the Canadian Military, GO NAVY. Now my life is coming to an end, because of exposure to asbestos, retrofitting one of our Destroyer escorts. I was forced to grind asbestos without a mask for many days.
My lungs are starting to fail. I am not sure how much time I have left, could be days, weeks or maybe a few months.
