    Thank you Silver. I hope if Sam's wife ever sees your essay that it will bring comfort to her to know how much happiness Sam was experiencing prior to his passing.

    Ditto with the other comments. Thank you for sharing so much with us. It's just such a tragedy. Hang in there, Silver.

    Hi Silver

    It's not often I am speechless, just cannot find the words to comment on your very sad story.

    My heartfelt good wishes to you.

    Silver, just remember how you, without knowing it, encouraged me to buy a helmet, collected it today.

    Although we are mostly strangers on here, it is so amazing how we can help each other, even when the other side of the globe!

    Hugs from the UK.

    love

    Thank you

    Thank you, lovely ladies! Thank you so much for reading my words. And for your kind replies. I had written this just after that accident and prior to my own. It was therapeutic to write it. It was published on the local bike club newsletter. But it has been so much more therapeutic to share it with you all now after I've had my accident. Thank you sooo soooo much for reading it.

    I'm glad that you are able to write about Sam and reflect as well how it affects you with your own accident so soon afterward. I'm keeping you in my thoughts for a speedy and complete recovery, both physically and psychologically. I'm glad you got to share the story with us and your bike group. I think it was a wonderful tribute to him.
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
