death can be that reminder to live!

[fish head )'>]

Lost a good friend, school mate of my wife since kindergarten, and Godfather to my first born, on my birthday this past June 13th, 2007. A freak motorcycle accident. I am a little in denial still. At 40 ish you still have some of that immortality feeling yet. Kind of a sad day, but will be awesome when I join him up there someday!

One of those bitter reminders to live life to the fullest.
If you are gonna do it, do it big.
Monsterize it!
God bless you "Neppy"

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend I suppose it's better to go that way rather than suffer

I know what you mean by living each day to the fullest. I worked in a funeral home in college.......It was a really valuable lesson.

Ii completely know what you are going through! My mom's best friend and my godmother started feeling pain in her side one night about a month ago and something near her lungs ruptured and she started coughing up blood and choked to death on her own blood b4 the EMTs could get there! She was only 46! It really helps you relize that we take way to much 4 granted! I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

Very sad indeed.
To mourn the death is to mourn something you cannot change.
To celebrate the life and the fortune you had to be in that life is also
something you cannot change.

Father's Day to me gives me 2 choices.
1.) To mourn the loss of my Father in Law on that very day 3 yrs. ago.
2.) To celebrate the fact that I am myself the father of a beautiful daughter, and also to celebrate the fact that I was fortunate enough to meet and get to know the man before his passing.
I happen to choose the second.
Sorry for your loss.

"But what about when we are dead and gone? Will you love me then, does love go on?"

" Look at the stars, how they shine and glow. Some of those stars died a long time ago,

yet still they shine, in the evening skies,

for you see, Love, like starlight, never dies! "

He is up there, your friend, and he still loves you ( as all of ours who have gone on ), and one day, you will meet him again.

Untill then ( as you yourself stated ) live your life to its FULLEST!!!

Today was a hard day. Over 1 mile of cars and motorcycles in the funeral persession! My wife is out right now hanging with all the classmates of '84 who came in from out-of-town. I do not know how people deal with death without a faith in God.

Thank you everyone in my fish family.

Sorry For Your Loss.

Sorry for your loss.
My fiance started motorbike riding recently, passed very well in his tests and is with a good group of guys and girls who also ride motorbikes, he seems to be learning well and has put much emphasis on being a safe rider. But i still worry about him a great deal, i've lost family and friends alike from motorbike accidents, and have know friends who have been left with gruesome permanent injuries from such things, so i know how dangerous these bikes can be. But i guess i have to let him live his life and do want he wants, it would be wrong of me to stop him riding motorbikes and i know this, so i let him do it even though it worries me sometimes.

With living life itself, the most important thing is to be kind and compasionate to the ones you love and like and let them know how much they mean to you, life is too short for petty arguments and grudges, afterall we're all essentially in the same boat on the same rough ride, so we might as well make the most of it .

Getting over the death of a loved one is always a harsh buisness, in some ways you will never get over it, but the most important thing is to cherish the time you had together and to get on with your own life. Afterall, your friend wouldn't want to see you suffer, but instead would want to best for you, so you should live your life as best as you can and move on, keeping the pleasant memories of times you had together in your heart as you live your life . Take as much time as you need to mourn though, i understand this person was very important to you. I know you must feel dreadful at this point in time, but i hope you feel better as time goes by .
