Sadness

Well I guess I wasn't kidding a few months ago when I told you this was my diary open to the public. I am sitting here with such overwhelming sadness I don't know what to do. Last night there was a deadly motorcycle accident in town. Then found out it was someone I have known since he was in diapers. I know his mom, his sisters were in my Brownie troop and my kids grew up with them. It shakes me. My son is shaken, my daughters half brother was his best friend. How hard it is to lose what we consider to be "our children" in such a senseless way. I have always understood my son's love of his motorcycle because as a much younger woman, I rode and loved it. But I also know when my son has his girlfriend on the back seat his very responsible but if he rides alone he gets a bit bold and crazy. I have to bite my tongue because I want to ask him to be more careful. Sorry, too many thoughts running through my head. Basically
I want to say how sorry I am to his mom, sisters, wife and 2 babies.

  5. I am sorry for your loss. I ache nearly ever time the news has a cycle accident story. I had a motorcycle accident 7-4-85. Life flight was called but couldnt' be there for 45 mins. Ambulance took me to the hospital not knowing if I would bleed to death on the way. I thank God everyday for my life.

    Take care.

  6. Few years back I lost a cousin on a motorcycle accident too. She was riding home late at night and perhaps a little too tired. It's sad to lose someone you know just like that and so suddenly. On another note, it reminds me not to take each day for granted. Carpe diem!

  7. Oh, I am sorry to hear that you are sad. This was a sad thing to have happened. I hope you get to feeling better soon, as a Mom you reserve the right to tell your son to be careful any old time you feel like it.
