[Rubrto]

For some reason I felt like I needed to fire off this thread ...
My 76 year old father had a stroke on the 19th. of November.
My 40 year old wife had a stroke on Thanksgiving > the 24th of November.
I have daughters age 9 and 12.
My Bride passed away at 3:30 Christmas Morning, then Dad at 5:30 the next morning. Tough enough on everybody else, but my kids lost their Mama one day and their Grandaddy the next.
I've already sold my '03 FLHTPI Electra Glide Police. Not so much for financial reasons, but as the sole provider & caregiver to a 4th. and a 7th. grader ... it's just one element of risk that could be pretty easily eliminated.
I'll be out of the saddle for a while, but I do intend to check with you VTF folks from time to time.
PEACE!

May God grant you and yours peace comfort and serenity in your dire time of need. Just when you think you've got it bad, a glimpse such as this into someone elses world can be a revelation of sorts. God bless and know you're all in a lot of thoughts and prayers. Believe me, it does help! Comparitively, my life over the past year was a picnic. Thank you for giving me a bit more perspective.
