LiSTers,
I debated long and hard on whether or not to post anything about this as
it has precious little to do with motorcycling, not to mention Triumphs.
But in the end talking (or typing) about it seems to help. So either
hit delete or bear with me.
Last week should have been wonderful. I should have been in St. Croix
enjoying the company of my fiance along with two close friends who live
there. I should have been celebrating my 29th birthday. I should have
been happy. All of that came to an abrupt end when I learned last
Friday night 10 minutes before leaving for the airport that my best
friend of 24 years had lost his wife in a skiing accident while they
were on vacation in Jackson Hole. It is quite possible that you heard
this story on the news this week. It has gotten national media
attention because the youth who struck and killed her with his snowboard
has been charged with manslaughter.
I do not care to debate the merits of the charges or discuss the tragedy
in her death but rather to use this incident as a reason to continue
doing the things that I love and to spend less time worrying about that
which I have no control over.
Heather was an amazing person. She meant so much to so many people and
did so much for others with little thought of herself. She will be
missed by all who knew her.
So make sure you do something today to make it worth living. Doesn't
have to be a big thing, just something.
