Condolences to you and your family, and to his. Young guys on motorcycles often don't realize that they hold a lot of death in their right fist.
May you all bear your pain well, and heal, and support each other in a difficult time.

Thank you all, it was an up and down day to say the least. One minute your laughing and the next crying. The next few days will be a roller coaster ride for my daughter because at her age she has never been faced with the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately as I grow older I have been in her shoes before and the closer I get to "permanent retirement" the reality of life and death becomes easier to understand. Her relationship with the young man had not reached the point where I had gotten close to his family yet so I have not talked to them yet. I can not even begin to imagine their grief. As mentioned earlier, many don't realize they are holding life or death in their right hands when riding and all indications are he was traveling at least twice the speed limit or more.

Throughout the day we shared some stories and some pain. The bittersweet moment of the day came when she hugged me after dinner and said "thanks". I said "your welcome, for what?" she replied "your stupid rules". I laughed and said which one. I have a lot to pick from and had no idea where she was going with this based on what we were talking about. My mother raised my brother and I to never go to bed angry at one another. No matter how mad we got at each other and no mater how long it took to resolve we would fight all night but go to bed with it resolved. I have tried to raise my children the same way. The last night they spoke, they got into a huge argument. She wanted to hang up angry but stayed up half the night until they resolved it.

The last words they had were good.
