My condolences to you and the family,brother. Nobody really knows how you feel, but try not to take on this burden....your life has been changed because you have lost someone near and dear, but it was also changed simply for having known him. Time will heal all wounds...not to forget, but to forgive any blame you have taken on yourself.  Your bro was doing something he wanted to do so he could spend some quality time with you and your other buddies...the bad memories will pass, and the good ones will come to the top.  So sorry for your loss... :'(

After three days of phone calls and people wanting to know if I would like to talk I decieded I don't want to discuss it anymore or think about or picture the scene in my mind until the funeral Thursday.  I want it  all to stop, if only for just an hour.  I'm only going to tell the story one more time and I think I'll wait until the right person asks. I know people are just trying to be kind but it's exhausting.

Go for a ride  I know you think you don't want to, but it will help  let the tears flow, scream into the wind, curse whatever, Go for a ride and start to heal

Took your advice Spyder, though I was sad about my chum never riding again I'm sure he'd want me to continue on.  Ironically the first green light I came too some bitch turned in front of me forcing me to lock my rear tire.  I guess a reminder to be careful, which I alway am but you never know.

I guess it's going to take some time to get the memory of that scene and my last picture of him out of my mind.  The funeral yesterday was very sad for his family, especially for the small grand kids.  Boke my heart.    

I'm wondering where I could maybe get 10 or so patches made up that I can have my friends name put on that I ride for him or somthing like that (suggestions)?  If anyone knows where I might be able to do that please shoot me a message.  Thanks to all of you who cared about this tragedy!

Sorry for your loss.  Thoughts and prayers with you and the family of your good friend.  Hang in there and stay strong.  I lost a great friend 2 years ago, it just takes a while.   Keep on riding just like he would want you to do.  Let's Roll

My condolences.

It is not your fault, don't blame yourself.

If your up to it, go for a ride, but don't ride "distracted".

We just did a memorial ride for a brother Fire Fighter killed 3 years ago in a horrific bike - truck accident, took 3 years before we were ready.  And the person who was riding with him still feels responsible and doesn't ride anymore, it is tearing him up. We have been trying to convince him to get help, but it is falling on deaf ears. We deal with death and destruction everyday, but when it is up close and personal it takes on a differnt meaning.

You will never forget, and it will always be on your mind, time may not heal all the hurt, but will make it manageable. During our 800 mile memorial ride the memories of the accident were with us, and the thought of something happening during that ride really concerned me some, since I organized it, but in the end, the ride went off without a problem and we have a great memorial and memory now, that all of our brother fire fighters, friends and even the family members now share.

I couldn't find a patch that I liked, so I just had an embroiderer stitch up my vest
