I will however warn you it will play over and over in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>It also sent my mind in 50 directions. Watching The Wizard of Oz was a much loved yearly event when I was a child.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I have said this before: my fathers were characters in movies from the sixties. The actors\u00a0 Wayne, Marvin, Bronson, Connery and many others. I tried to emulate their characters all my life. The heroes.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z8E-_JdLfEY?si=XA8hJJtsCstr9e-z\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lXgkuM2NhYI?si=pPY8SoqYiy_zY_PS\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
