I wanted to let yall know...

Thank you for posting this up, Terry. Really sorry for your loss.

Next time I'm down in your next of the woods, the supper is on me. :)
 
I'm terrible at expressing condolences. I can only imagine what you and your family gone through over the last few months. Try to focus on all of the wonderful experiences that you two shared over a lifetime. Memories are what keep loved ones alive in our hearts. Your offer to help anyone else, even in this time of sorrow, gives a glimpse of what a special man your wife chose.
 
So sorry for your loss...my prayers to you and family to coop with this.

Beloved persons you have lost are just in a next door room, the only thing is you cannot enter that room and come back
 
I am very sad to hear of your loss. My wife lost her Father to Cancer a number of years ago and the pain the family felt was immense.

I sent you a PM with some comforting thoughts.
 
Terry, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your wife and children's mother. I pray you and your children will find the strength to cope and support each other.

These posts remind us that whilst we love our bikes, our families are what really count.
 
Terry, at dads funeral my sisters father-in-law read this poem to us. Its the one thing that really meant something to me, so I would like to read it you you and your children.
(In my best voice)
IF TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME.
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
if the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
that an angle came and called my name, and took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above.
And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye.
for all my life I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while.
I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realize that this could never be
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly thing I might miss, come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates I felt so much at home
when God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.
He said " this is eternity and I've promised you
today for life on earth is past, but here starts anew."
" I promise no tomorrow but today will always last.
And since each day is the same day there's no longing for the past."
"But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do."
"But you have been forgiven and now at last you'r free.
So won't you take my hand, and share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, dont think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me.. I'm right here in your heart.

I am not sure who the author is.
Hope this helps alittle.
 
Terry more than most, I know how hard it is caring for and lossing someone with terminal cancer,I lost my only child [Tessa] at the age of 24yrs after 13mths of figthing it.I was her carer,being a single Dad she lived with me most of her life. Eleven years have passed and not a day goes by without thinking of her. It does get a little easier after time as I know she would want me to get on with my life as I would want her to do if it was me.The only thing you can do for her now is to take special care of your children and yourself. take care, Jeff
 
Thanks to all.

Mike, you have been very comforting, as have been many others. Thank you.

Jeff... I cant imagine the pain that you went through, and are still enduring. Im sure that it was difficult for you to share this with us.
 
May she Rest in Peace. I hope knowing you did all you could and making things as comfortable as possible for her helps you and your family in these rough times.
