Long Way Home
U.S. Routes that end in "0" are supposed to go from coast to coast. But not all do. To travel the 2,760 mile length of US 60 eastbound, all the way to Virginia Beach, you have to begin southwest of Brenda, AZ... East of Quartzsite and the Plomosa Mountains.
Even with signs, it's easy to get lost in this place called America.

Fillmore East, New York City, 6/6/1970
Every year, it's a weekend of emotional ambiguity marking two medical anniversaries with totally different outcomes.
More recently, a life saving surgery. In the distance, a reminder that one of the few potentially life saving amateur tools in which the public is trained fails 9 of 10 times.
The painful truth is that your best may not be enough to save a loved one. But because they are a loved one, you try... And live with the memory through your Sadderdays.
