Memories Are Forever
Description
a light mist is falling upon her. She is, once again, mourning for a loss. Only two months
ago she was standing before this permanent home, made of concrete, for Betty and Micky.
Micky and Betty were traveling to their camp in Mississippi. Betty, as usual, was
instructing Micky about things he needed to do once they arrived. Suddenly, Micky
noticed an 18-wheeler traveling, out of control, West on I-10. The truck crossed the
medium, trailer sliding sideways, and the cab heading straight for Micky's jeep. The cab of
the truck hit them head on-killing both, Micky and Betty, instantly. Fortunately, Betty was
making notes on her phone and didn't know what hit her.
As Nita stood there, she thought, 'How could such a thing happen? Only eight months
ago, Betty was on a trip with her and Lou.' Nita's mind slowly drifts into the thick fog
that surrounds her. She's daydreaming, with a smile on her face, about the two-week trip.
They had so much fun and laughed so hard.

Their trip to D.C. via Louisiana by way of the East Coast-starts on a bright sunny,
Friday morning, March 4th of 2011, from their little home-town of Delcambre, Louisiana.
The only plan made for this trip was the date and time to leave their home-town,
which was no later than ten o'clock. However, filled with excitement, not one of them
could sleep that Thursday night. Lou Calmer and Betty Right have never traveled the
East Coast. Fortunately, Nita and her husband, Archie Noall, has traveled this route once
before. Nita was so excited to be the guide for her two friends.
