My mother died from Alzheimers. It took about eight years and was incredibly difficult for the whole family. Now I am dealing with my wife who has suffered both cancer and just this last year renal failure as a result requiring dialysis five days a week. We do this at home for many reasons too complicated to get into here. I am the care giver and hemodialysis tech. I don't know folks. There are many ways to loose the life you had. With the medical technology available today we are living longer but in no way it guarantees living the life you had. We do have one hope that she will receive a kidney transplant sometime but until then the life style we had is done. Travel has become very complex, expensive and really limited. On motorcycles its just not in the cards. So, for now the bikes will sit. We are going to try and keep up with some of the local stuff that goes on and I can get out for a run form time to time but as I said any rallies or trips are now out of reach. One has to deal with what ever life sends our way. If you are fortunate enough to keep riding and traveling at the age many of us have reached do it as often as you can. The day it all changes can come at any time.
