This is Edna as I met her many years ago, a totally delightful girl if there ever was one, with a sharp wit and a wonderful sense of humor, she would excel at anything she'd do. After highschool, she opted for a medical career and when she finished the arduous and lengthy training she became a top surgeon respected (and envied) for her knowledge and skills. She decided to leave her native Armenia and settle with her family in the wild, wild west: Texas where she soon found fortune and fame, as she found everywhere her fate took her next. After a great run at the professional life, a well deserved, maybe a little reluctant, retirement beckoned and Edna continued passions she started: painting, pottery, mosaics, travel and such. One early summer evening sitting with a glass of wine looking at those beautiful trees and the rising moon above, an idea that kept going through her mind for a while trying to coalesce, suddenly appeared with the clarity and sharpness of the crystal: she knew then and there that any choice she'd had made, any alternate way or road "not taken" would've got her exactly where she is now ... she took a long pull of her drink and sighed ... she happy!
