I know the title of this thread might confuse some of you...and this is extremly hard for me to have to tell ya'll....

But being that this a MC forum, I think it's the least I can do, with the circumstances I am now having to face...

As most of you know, from my last several posts, my husband is a professional racer.....this past weekend he was scheduled to race...........

Everything was going ok....he tested and qualified really well.

However....eight laps into the race....my husbands bike (the tank) exploded...my husband fell off and the bike fell with him.
The EMT's tried to do all they could. Chris didnt make it.

And now not only having to face this...in alittle over two short months, I'm bringing his two children into the world.

So....in the miss of what's happened, I may be taking some time away from the forum.....its not to say I wont be back....I just need to take some time to rethink a lot of things...and take some time to myself to figure out what I'm going to do.

For those that I've gotten to know....I thank you for your friendship....for those I have yet to have gotten the chance to know well....I welcome the friendship....

In ending this....I just want to simply state.....love the ones closest to you.....love the ones the furthest from you...for you never know when the good Lord above will take them from you.

Th following is a Poem that was apart of Chris and I's wedding vows when we got married......its something I have looked at everyday since we got married....its as follows



For Better Or Worse

You could walk behind me
Or you could hold my hand
You could know me fully
Or never understand
And you could drive me crazy
Like only you can
Life's blessing, life's curse
For better or worse

You could leave me stranded
Or hold me with your eyes
Come home empty handed
Or with a brilliant surprise
And you could sing me love songs
Or just make me blue
Life's blessing, life's curse
For better or worse....I'm with you

Sure there are plenty of fish in the sea
Flocks of birds on the rise
Baby, not for me.....
Cause I live in paradise......

And if harms way found you
You know I'd be there
To wrap my love around you
To let you know I care
And when the angels came down

I'd say, dont you dare...
You know not what you do
May God take me first for better or worse
I love you.......

May God take me first....for better or worse....I love you......

hooters_on_two_wheel,
So sorry to hear this news. I wish I could do more for you,
I would love to think he "at least he was doing what he loved" but with the twins on the way I am not sure he got the chance to see what he loved most. You seem to be a strong person and need to be now more than ever to take the unexpected roll as Mom and dad. God bless you and your families and our prayers are with you.
Thank you for trusting in us to be second family to give a shoulder to lean on in your time of grief.
Your Friend,
Dave. :angelhap: :hug:

I have just recently returned to the forum due to a busy summer, so I haven't gotten the chance to get to know you. I am, however, sending my sympathy your way. I am sorry to hear about your husband's accident. I have had several friends in the past who have gotten seriously injured racing and probably shouldn't even be alive. It's something we will never understand; why some survive and some don't.

I hope that you have a strong support system where you are now and that you will have plenty of help when your twins are born. Take your time to heal. If you ever need anything or want to talk, PM me. Remember you aren't alone through this. You have all of us!

Oh, what is your husbands last name if you don't mind my asking. I was going to mention it to several of my friends incase anyone knew him. If you don't want to post it, it's okay too.

:yikes: :sorry: :cry: I'm so sorry Miranda... I know how much you were looking forward to the next few months with Chris. I can't imagine what you are going thru. I have been thinking about my riding and my wife alot lately... I just can't imagine going thru what you are. If you need to vent or just talk..PM me and we can talk. I'm so sorry for your loss...

Do they have any more info on how this happened?
