Hello everyone (or those who care)
A lot has happened over the last 9 months...some sad....some pretty damn good. As I posted in January, My dad Passed away. He had battled and won a 20 year bout with bladder cancer, but eventually his body just gave out. The best way to describe his ordeal at the end....is he was sick for a couple months, but was dying for only a week or so. He bravely made it past my folks 60th wedding anniversary and enjoyed one last Christmas with us. He passed peacefully in his sleep...in his own bed....in the house they called home since 1961....He will always be loved...and never forgotten....
Now for some pretty "damn" good news. I reconnected with an old friend from my past of long ago. We were best friends in 1991 as I coached her son's little league team. We made a point to remain friends...albiet from afar as our families grew up and we lived in cities and towns apart. Due to circumstances....we were able to reconnect in late December. Our friendship never wavered and our conncection was instant and powerful. She is the woman I'm going to spend the rest of my life with...and I look forward to the rest of my Life even more...
Her name is Cindy...
Oh...one more great thing in my life....My son and daughter in are having my first bilogical grand child (cindy has 11) in early September...which is what brings me to this post. A day or two after Grace is born, Cindy and I are going to embark on a 9 day ride thru Northern California toward Crater Lake Oregon and Coos Bay then head south down the Oregon/California coast line. I still have my 2007 Street Glide and she rides a 2007 Heritage Softtail. I'm hoping this will be the first of many rode trips with her...One reason for this blog was to let my Mom know every day that I made it to my daily destination on the Five O tour. I hope those still reading my blog enjoy the ride....I know I will..
Take Care....
