This morning started out as a great Sunday. I woke up early to find out last night I won the CS lottery pool in our group, the weather was perfect for working in the garage and the coffee was brewing when I woke up. After a few hours in the garage with the smell of wood chips and coffee my wife came to the garage with the cell phone in hand and said you need to take this call. We were informed that my daughter’s boyfriend had been killed in a motorcycle accident. After 19 short years his life was over in a blink of an eye. Details are still kind of sketchy but speed played a part and I am sure he was not wearing his helmet since he rarely did. As a father there are a few things that make me feel so helpless and this is one of those times I cannot make it all better. She was away at school and is now home. We have spent the afternoon spending time with her and allowing her to grieve. Please take a moment to say a prayer for the family of the young man who left us way too soon and my daughter as she struggles with the emotions of starting school, moving away from home and losing someone in her heart for the first time.
If you ride a bike or know someone who does,
Please wear your helmet and slow down.
