Thinking of Janet

Last week our golf league lost our former captain, and good friend, Janet. She had continued to play for the past three years, even though cancer posed quite a battle for her. She began to have difficulty walking last year, and as we left the course on the last night of the season, she said she didn't know if she would be able to play this year. At the time it seemed she was more worried about her golf handicap than her physical handicap. But...that was Janet.
I was happy to step in as captain of the league, when I learned she had had surgery on her leg. We were so sure she would overcome it and return to play again. She died last Wednesday.
I got the word via email, while I was in Myrtle Beach. That last round I played was dedicated to her. I shot a 53 on the front nine. She must have been watching. I shot a 44 on the back.
Keep an eye on me this coming season, Janet.
