Just found out that a young family from our church was in a bad car accident while on vacation. The dad and two of the kids were killed, and one of the kids was injured and will need surgery. The mom is ok, thankfully, but I cannot comprehend what she must be going through.
Hold your loved ones tight, folks, and tell them that you love them every chance you get.
Picture of something beautiful to offset this darkness.

My wife reminds me of this every day and says I need to keep taking more time for the kids. It’s hard to keep that mindset when you’re always on the move and never really relax. Also why she’ll never let me ride a motorcycle on the street. I am allowed to race one if I so choose.

My wife forbids me from driving a motorcycle on the road as well, she doesn’t even like that I ride a bicycle from time to time.

That’s rough. It puzzles me with the way things work out sometimes. Hope the mother can maintain strength for her family and that she gets all the support she can take at this sad time.

A family here suffered an eerily similar loss some years ago, it’s horrible. Best to the surviving family (and to you & their other acquaintances), I can’t imagine going through that with mine.

Mines the same way. She’d also get mad if I wore ear buds while walking. Whenever I brought up a motorcycle for daily driving she’d ask if I like hugging my kids. I replied of course. Then she asked me how I’d do that without any arms.

Yup mine sounds the exact same as yours and we don’t even have children yet! Her reason is always “how are we gonna start a family if you’re either dead or a vegetable.”

To be fair to the wives this is something I think about all the time and something that got my dad off his bike. My dad used to ride nothing but motorcycles and did not quit until he was in a bad car accident when him and a friend were drunk and he was riding in his friend’s car while his friend drove. My dad spent a year in the hospital in recovery and they kept him in the same ward as the amputees. The thing about spending time in a hospital with amputees is you don’t see them when they’re healed and they’ve become adjusted to their prosthetics. You see them when they are first healing and there’s infections and they struggle just to get by each day. My dad asked a lot of them what happened and he said over half of them said motorcycle accidents. That was thirty years ago and he hasn’t been on a bike since.

Yeah honestly with the amount of motorcycle accidents I read about, I think I’d be scared to actually ride one around town. That’s crazy about what happened to your dad, a big lesson learned for him I bet!

Yeah. We have a nearby kart track that races small bikes, like 100cc, and I think I’d be comfortable with that because you’ve got head to toe gear and no cars to crush you to death.

That sounds like a pretty cool place to live near. Bikes don’t scare me, it’s distracted drivers in crossovers and big SUVs that would give me that sense of fear.
