Emily,
Way to to girl!!! We all have to find our own way, and you are finding yours. Everyone heals differently - and you are on your way. No - you will never "get over" losing your dad, but you will begin to celebrate him more and grieve less.
Sorry I have been out of touch, but I will email you soon. I am having a difficult time right now.
I am hoping to return to the triange for a weekend in the fall - so now that you are back on the road - maybe you, Carrie Anne and I can get together for a TE ride.
I thought of you last week as I was looking at a metric and century ride out of Cannadaigua, NY in September. I will be unable to do it this year - but am considering it next year - it is called the Highlander.
Welcome back!
D.

Way to go, you should be very proud of yourself. Sometimes it's really hard to face our fears but once we do we are always the stronger for it.
congratulations!!

Yay, Emily! High-five yourself but not while you're riding your bike.

Welcome back Emily. You've certainly had a rough year of it. I missed you on the forum after your dad died. Its great you got back on the road. You are one brave woman.

Congratulations Emily! You faced your fears head on. Be proud of your accomplishments. You did it.

Hey there Em, a woman who faces fears and gets on with life
You continue to inspire me
