It was a hot night July 28, 2003. Eric called to say he was getting off early, to be ready to go for a ride on our Harleys. I had on denim shorts w/my riding boots & a Tshirt, he asked me to put on jeans, Just in case. So I put a pair on top of my shorts. We threw on our helmets,started our bikes and rode away. 5 min down the road we were both struck by a Careless Driver. I was thrown about 40ft, my head landed an inch from a telephone pole, my riding boots found 75ft further, But God said Not Today! I dont remember much, I was in & out of consciousness for the next few days. His leg was badly broken in several places as well as compound fracture requiring emergency surgery, he still has screws & a steel rod that runs from his knee to ankle. I had a slight brain injury, broken right ankle, tore all the ligaments in my left knee & a bit of road rash. 10 long months of PT, but Eric & I were Blessed to survive & recover! I heard of an old friend who passed yesterday in a MC accident on Fischer Blvd, he wasnt as lucky, so many arent! :( So today I thank Eric for convincing me to put on those jeans & God for giving us the chance to live beyond that day and for these past 11yrs & my beautiful Son! Everyone PLEASE watch out for those on Motorcycles who share your road!
