Emily,

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family during this difficult time. I can't fathom the thought of losing my dad and can only imagine the pain you are going through. Your TE family is here to listen and support you.

As for riding, ultimately the choice is yours but I hope you don't give it up. Don't let others dictate how you want to enjoy your life. From your posts, you sound very passionate about this sport that binds all on this forum together. Don't let them win. I hope you'll keep on riding.

Sue
