When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
There are many different responses to crisis. Most survivors have intense feelings after a traumatic event but recover from the trauma; others have more difficulty recovering — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences, who are faced with ongoing stress, or who lack support from friends and family — and will need additional help.

Wow, how time flies! I thought I'd update you following this thread. In September 07 I left the US to live in Holland. I began biking again, traveling throughout the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg.
It's amazing to me how much better bikers are treated over here by the public, compared to my experience back in the US. I may have died on my back back there, but here I feel like I can really live again.
My only complaint is the usual motorcycle clubs vs. the independant riders. I hadn't paid much attention to the biker gangs back in the US, except to read stories in the news when they did something good, (usually charitable/support causes they helped) or something bad.
Seems that they have even more power and influence over on this side of the world, and unfortunately don't get much press other than negative.
Other than that, the bikers I've met here don't care if you're disabled or not, a girl or a guy, old or young, rich or poor, a weekend biker or a "real" biker, Harley or other... Man, that's nice.
