Motorcycle Accident

Well this Sunday did not turn out to be any better than  the last. Last Sunday my car was backed into in the church parking lot. This Sunday I opened an email from an old friend telling me that a mutual friend of our had died Friday. Apparently he and his girl friend had been riding his Harley and he lost control. I don't know all of the details but it physically made me ill.  I had flashbacks of the motorcycle accident my husband and I had. This past Labor Day weekend we took a trip to Eureka Spings with two other couples for a day of shopping and just enjoying the beautiful day. Right as we got to Eureka my husband lost control of the bike and I was thrown head first over the front  of the bike and my husband jumped to the left and the bike wrapped around the tree. I remember hitting my head on a rock and just rolling and grasping at anything I could, I thought I was going to the bottom of the revine. That was the absolute scariest thing I have ever been through in my life. I am so thankful for our helmet's which I know saved our lives. Our bodies were bruised and covered in roadrash but we were OK. My friend Ty had just turned 40 a few months back and he was a very lively guy to say the least.I'm not sure if he was wearing his helmet but  Please, please wear your helmet if you ride a bike, it could really save your life, it did mine.
