Kid was only online here for 3 days. I call him a kid, but only because compared to me, he is. Technically young man I suppose. Guess I ran him off. Certainly wasn't my intention. I am generally compasionate and welcoming, at least I try to be. Just something about the tone of his post that said to me this kid needs a reality check before he leaves a young wife without a husband and 2 babies without a father. Guess it's really none of my business what happens to him or his family. Must be getting soft in my old age. I truly am sorry for his loss, losing a father takes a toll on the survivors. Imagine how his wife and 2 babies would feel.
I truly hope where ever he is, that he sits down and takes stock of life. It is short as is. Racing high powered motorcycles around curvy roads has the ability make it shorter... in a hurry. Sounds as if has responsibilities he needs to put a priority on. Looking back from my perspective that's easy to see and postulate on as I was in the exact same situation 40 years ago. I got lucky. A few of my friends didn't. I still have a framed picture of a motorcycling friend I lost (too soon) 46 years ago on a mantle downstairs. John was 22. He never got a chance to live. I still miss him.
