My Husband

[harley89]

Funny how things change quickly. My daughter and I have decided to stop all treatment and place my husband in hospice care.  Not easy to make that call. But to continue to win a battle just was not the thing to do.  I will give him food and water as he wants  and let the cancer run its course.     I am sure heaven has choppers  waiting for him.  He can have another ride there.   And I just know it will be a old ironhead.

I've seen Hospice staff at work, Harley.  I think they are a breed apart from us mere mortals.  The wonderful care and comfort they provide is truly a blessing.  My heart, prayers and HUGS go out to you, your daughter, all the family and, especially, your hubby.

Thanks Squid. Funny he always called himself a snails angel.   He loved to enjoy the ride not the speed.  Most people did not know he was at one time a color wearing biker.  The real deal.  I remember one of his bosses telling him that he was glad he knew the man on that yellow chopper cause if he didnt he would have been scared to death.  He was at heart a good man. One day  working he saw a young woman and her car had broken down. he of course stop to offer assistance. She did the right thing and stayed in her car with the doors locked.  That hurt him since she seemed to think he would do her harm.  He stood by until help got there.

If I were that woman, I would probably have hugged that bear of a man!  (((HARLEY)))

A Biker Funeral

Sunday morning early comes
This sweltering summer's day;
Chrome and coffee polished off
As bike and rider wake,

And rumble off to clubhouse for
A changing of the brew;
Black vests in formation--fast
and tight--a loud tribute.

Iron horses, hundreds strong,
Come thund'ring through the gate;
Sleeping souls on notice, fallen
Biker nears his fate.

A mile of gleaming metal lines
The circle and the park;
Out of saddles, boots hit brick
And make for chapel's heart.
 
Members of the Club stand post,
Proud brothers in the wind;
Shaded eyes the tears disguise,
And loss they feel within.

Friends and family pay respects
To biker and his mate;
Praises made and prayers raised,
Blues legends resonate.

Final words and kisses, then
The pipes' Amazing Grace;
Souls of bike and rider seek
Eternal resting place.

Sunday morning early comes
This sweltering summer's day;
One more rider, Heaven bound,
Roars through the Pearly Gates.

I'm just so heartbroken, girl. I wish I could hug you, to help the hurt go away.  Please know we love you, we're here for you, and every one of us would take some of your pain on ourselves if we could.
