Buried Another Friend Today - 51 years old

[OrangevaleFJR]

You do what you did. Somehow, despite everything, we find are better equipped for **** like this than we expect-it just takes the event to bring it out. Death is as much a part of life as living-natural and unavoidable. Though your friend died hard, this too is part of the deal. We just don't know till it hits, some easy, some terrible. It sucks, but it is what it is. Sorry, in any case. :huh:

Poignant, and to the point. Nicely said, Rad.

I agree...and his man ****s are incredible. How diverse Radman is...we could only hope to count the ways. He's beyond us.

Enough said DC it is time to start living and it starts with you. For a start are you going to the WFO next year? That should be a big yes and if you would like someone to ride with count me in and I will ride there to ride with you there.

At the same time I also want to do some additional ridding and visit some more of the North West

I had two friends pass away one in two weeks (48) the other in four weeks(54) the last two months both had cancer.

I lost my brother when I was 19 and he 17 and I cried so much it hurt. I would drive around and cry and never knew years later why I still hadn't gotten over it. I had a friend die a few years ago and I cried uncontrollably then too. I finally realized I was still crying over my brother and it was because of the way I treated him, we didn't get along very well at all and I know he thought I hated him.

Death is usually about those left behind as the journey is now over for them. I have found that what has helped me most is how I treat my friends and family now. Friends I would do anything for and love to be the one they call and am honored to help them out.

In the end I want to know that I was genuinely a true friend and did all I could when I could.

It has helped me with the ones I have lost since my brother!

Sounds like you were good friends while he was here and that's all that matters!

Living in the past and hoping I die first. Nutty but painless.

You wake up every day remembering that life can change, or end, in an instant so we must make the most of each and every day.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Keep riding.

Lost my mom on dec 31 1987,I was 17 and sr in high school. All I could do was breath one breath at a time,one day at a time(me & mom were real close). Lost a 33yo friend of my sisters that was like a sister last week to a blood clot after complications from an outpatient procedure, all I can do now is remember her and she is here,maybe not physically, but take what i can. Ma still taught me alot,even in death. Just remember, never forget them and they will live on in your heart where the souls of the kindred always are and where everybody that calls each other friend or family links to each other. At least that's how I see it,especially when I see a particular kind of sunset I used to watch w/ my mom the summer before she died ,I get that little feeling like she is here again .
