Thanks Beabble :)
My husband lost his brother in a motorcycle accident 7 years ago. He was only 40. He looks at it that Richard lived his life on his terms and died doing what he loved. He had no helmet on. If he did he probably would have survived. We always wear helmets, always. I understand your fear though. I had a bad fall jumping my horse and never really got my courage back. I still ride my horse but I don't jump anymore. :blush08:
Bicycles are fun to..and more healthy!!! :D
| Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that your husband lost his brother, that's so sad. My daughter nor myself had helmets on when I flipped the four wheeler. She ended up having to have surgery on her leg a year later and I was life flighted to another hospital where they were capable of treating me as I suffered 3 brain bleeds and was stuck on stupid for, oh, probably a lil over a year. Took me a very long time to recover and now that I am, I just have that fear, you know what I mean? And it always makes me think things like, "what if I wrecked with Maggy May?" She's be dead. I don't remember the accident my daughter and I had, I just know what she's told me about it, but I do know to this day I live with what she had to go through and what her leg is like now. I just get scared I suppose and I never ever wanna do something that will hurt Maggy, but at the same time, man, that would be so neat to be able to take her riding on a bike. Of course I'd hook her in a basket so she couldn't bounce or jump out, who knows, maybe one day I'll actually do it! If I do, I'll have to send you pics;) It wouldn't be as neat as cruising on a motorcycle but it'd be quite an accomplishment on my part and I bet Maggy May would like it, lol. |
