I was at the RAMROD finish line today and was thinking about him a lot. He was the "master of the water barrels" when I met him while volunteering to load trucks. I loved the "color" he provided when giving instructions to the crew.

Last night I read his blog and was so touched and impressed by Donald's open and honest expression of his love for Mimi and the others who were there for him this past year. I'm thankful that he shared with the world.

Yeah. Me too. We loved him a lot.

Oh my Mimi, I am so sorry for your loss. I opened this thread thinking it was about stolen bikes, only to find out about poor Don. I didn't even know he was sick. I wish you the strength to move forward, and am sure you will find comfort from you wonderful children.

Thanks Trisk,
we are doing pretty good, but I miss him SO MUCH, and I keep wondering when he's going to show up...!!

You know, a dear friend told me she thinks Katrina(the bike) just left because she couldn't bear to never be ridden by Donald again.

Hugs.

I haven't commented in these threads before because I didn't want to be a downer: About two years ago I lost an online acquaintance to the same cancer as Don. She went so fast - just two weeks from diagnosis. And looking back in her blog, just two months from the first symptom that something's wrong.

It is hard. For months my brain expected her to blog about the "experience". She was also active in an online role playing game. I expected to read about her plans for her characters. Now that she had "inside privilege" and unlimited playing time, was she going to run different types of characters, perhaps matching her own status? It took my brain a long time to accept that none of these things were going to happen.

This is so familiar and sweet.
I'm hanging on to it.
