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.

Hi Chad!
Great to hear back from you! Sounds like you sure have your plate full! Now, I must say, You could inspire many men with your determination, morals, since of responsibility, and most of all, love for your daughter. You get it. She is the greatest thing you've ever done, and the primary reason for your being!
Having her to inspire you to continue through life is better therapy than any shrink could give. I would personally like to applaud you for standing up to diversity, and having the strength to see the bigger picture.
It sounds like you were very lucky with what you went through. My accident always seems so minimal when I compare to how massive others like you dealt with. You know, that's what impressed me most with this site. I saw myself deserving to be told to shut up, move on, & stop whining by people much more worse off than me......but they didn't. They understand that at all levels of loss, support is essential. I praise them all for understanding.
It's so cool how you moved on. I'll lose 2 summers of Ohio riding, but starting to make plans of shopping this winter for what will be my new ride. '09 will be better.
The info you can offer on the process of healing is just what this site needs.(and more people visiting) As you scan around, you see helpful suggestions on how to set up the bike, equip yourself with needed tools, or adjust to new situations aimed at your riding future.(Ain't that what it's all about!) How cool is that!
I sure understand the time element needed to web serf. I bought this lap top, and got on line back in Jan. It gave me a sense of strength through knowledge after the first 7 months of dealing with healing. It got me here. (great move!) I've returned to work as a truck driver delivering groceries to stores all over my area. Getting back in the groove and dealing with the hours has been rough. Not much time for anything else during the week, but I'm Soooo glad to be back again!
Give any info you can, or choose to, to guide the brothers & sisters on getting past the Hell that is the blessing of surviving. You, & your insight is important. Not to mention your devotion to life itself!
You can start a new Forum, or add to this one. It's your choice & the cool thing is, as you notice, if you add to this one, it rises to the top with a new input & it shows "new" next to it.
I'll keep an eye out for you, and feel free to contact me later. You are an inspiring individual who ranks high on my charts! (where ya from?)
Welcome back! Give that girl a kiss for me!
