Thread Drift

[lph]

Rode downhill today at the relatively new downhill park nearby. DANG, that's a lot of fun. Even though it costs an arm and a leg to rent bikes and gear and spend a day on the lifts. Everything from swooping, easy turns via jumps small, large and horrendous to gnarly, rocky, rooty awfulness.

FIL passed away this morning. He would've been 96 in three weeks. He was reasonably healthy until this spring.

DH is already there, I'll be heading out soon. Sadly, DH is the only one in the immediate family who has the slightest coping skills or willingness to accept help, and he can only do so much without threatening his own mental health. It's been pretty surreal ever since FIL went into heart failure in May and then developed delirium in the hospital. I'm a bit removed from all of it, but if you can spare a few serene thoughts for DH, MIL and SIL, I'm sure anything will help.

Thoughts and prayer are with you.

So sorry, Oak. Give our condolences to DH. Delirium just sucks. It was downhill from there when my FIL started with that.

[Catrin]

Sorry Oak, my prayers and thoughts are with you, your DH and family.

Oak, wishing you & DH serenity in this very trying time.

I swear I am done, done, done organizing rides. I repeat - I am done, done, done organizing S24O's
Now I will go type this is bold letters, print out and paste on my wall next to my desk.

The straw the broke the camel's back. "Thanks so much for loaning us your Bob Trailer, can you bring it to the start of the ride (95 miles away) please" Uhhhh hello?
