Been awhile

Well it been too long since I've posted but things have been getting busy with the initial trial date looming.

On a good note however I expect to get my new bike soon, and be back in the wind again.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year ! ! !

Some friends I ride with were posting holiday greetings but could not seem to deal with our losses this year I'm not doing well with it either, but I'm trying to focus on the positive. Frankly for me it feels like a life and death situation.

Here is my response, hopefully it helps.

While myself and friends around me are trying to get into the spirit of the season I can't help but think of friends that were lost in the wreck, missing them so so terribly, as well as others throughout the year.

That being said, I can't speak for all those we lost but I do know that Christmas was a very happy and joyous season for a couple of them and I imagine they're better served and remembered in celebration than in me sitting around crying and singing "whooaa is me".

Much Love Dan, Dayle, Clyde, and Steve. And to all of you have a Very Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Finally

Over the last couple weeks I've noticed that I am spending less time crying and more time smiling whenever my thoughts are drawn to my friends that passed in the wreck. I'm not beating myself up near as much for experiencing some joy in my day or happiness in the memories I have of my friends. Recently a few of us were reminded of one of Dan's antics and were left pretty much breathless from laughter.

Now that is an incredible feeling. Not only the laughter, but more importantly the happiness I'm beginning to experience again when I'm in the company of my friends if only in memory. Feels a little like we're still together enjoying each other. I imagine they've missed that as much as I have and are shouting "it's about time chica, we've missed you!!!"

Another Tragedy

Been a long road. Unfortunately I'm not alone. Found out this weekend there was another, eerily similar wreck (at least from the photos) east of San Diego this weekend.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Godspeed to the fallen and a very quick recovery to the injured. (shout anytime if ya need to just relate)

See the link below for more details.

Saddle Tramps

I sure hope 2011 isn't as filled with tragedy.

Never going to be allowed to move on... ???

Been going over and over the tragedy for pretty much the whole week with one person or another. Next I'll have to repeat it all for the experts for Maricopa County Atty. Office. Seems like it will never end  :(

The Memorial

Sunday morning we placed the memorial to our Fallen brothers and sister. It was a good day but sad too. I have more on this but now is not the time. I need to sort through my thoughts and feelings for a bit.


Ride Safe !
