It takes a real man to admit that he has made mistakes, but has learned from them. So remember, if you need to forgive anyone, get er done and put that behind you. And remember, say what you mean and mean what you say. An honest man lives by his word. And this verse in the bible, "a tree is known by it's fruit" good or bad..so produce good fruit my friend. It takes a lot of guts to put what you said on this forum.

My sediments exactly, not always the easiest path, but usually the one of less stress! Best of luck!

Luke, has the phone calls finally stopped? Don't get caught up in something you really have no cotrol over. Sometimes we just have to move on. Best wishes.

No one needs friends like that. Surround yourself with positive, good friends and your life will be much more positive and good.

Luke, you keep up with meeting all them forum members, and we'll be putting you back in the saddle again! Hope the family is doing better.

Amazing read! This is one stand up dude right here. Look forward to reading more from you. Ride safe.

It's much more fun to be a good man. Congratulations on turning things around..I truly mean that.

I watched my mom die of cancer in 2001 and then watch as my dad died of cancer (started out in his lungs) in 2005. Just last year my MIL who used to take rides with me on the back of my Sporty died of cancer. Each one of them handled it a little differently. While my mom still had her wits about her I asked her if she was afraid of dying. She asked me if I was. I told her no, of course not. She said, "then neither am I".

When my dad was under the lethal eye of hospice I would go visit him. One time he told me, "You need to get out of here and be with the living." He meant my wife and kids. I left that day, but when I returned the next he wanted me there. I wasn't there when he died, but the day before I told him it would probably be the last time we'd ever see each other. I knew he wouldn't make it another day. You can tell those things after a while.

I don't know. I guess nobody knows how they will act until it is their time. I know that I honestly don't fear death in the least ... but then I have no terminal illness either. I think I will go gracefully, but if I don't I then hope my family will understand.

Not much you can do or say to change things here. Just continue to be supportive. Even if he doesn't actually acknowlege your being there for him and the family, he will know.
I hope everything works out.

Ran in to a old friend a few days ago.
He told me that over christmas, he was rushed in with lumps in both sides.
4 years ago he had prostrate cancer and now male breast cancer.
Had them removed withen 3 weeks.
So keep checking.
Take care.

You been to the doc's yet Luke.

Good luck Luke, hoping it's nothing major. Get it checked out ASAP.
