“I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.”
~ Emily Bronte
This quote gives voice to the emotion I feel when thinking about my foreshortened railroading career. Those dreams still live--in my fiction, in my dreams. Those years shaped my outlook, my interests, and my memories. My stories would not be as strong without those sacrificial years freely given. Part of what and who I amm was forged in those 16 years. I thank God/dess that I was able to pursue and fulfill those railroad dreams. For a woman, it was no easy task. But I won. Heh heh! I won!
