Snaggletooth Posted May 8, 2013 #70 Posted May 8, 2013 Again, I find myself sitting here trying to find the way to say "Thank You" to everyone that has responded to this post. The only word that keeps coming to mind is overwhelming in every sense of the word. I've been around this site for quite a while but I'm still amazed at this place. You folks describe it as family, friends, riding, eating, wrench bending and BS companions. It goes way beyound that. Oh yeah, the word dysfunctional seems to come up a lot to. Truth be told, that may be one of the biggest attractions. Keeps life interesting don't it? But the other night the phrase "this site is a fluke" came up. Made me laugh. It is, it really is. By definition, a stroke of luck, an unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that leads to a favorable outcome. Luck brought me to this site back in 2007, just a few months after finding a good deal, by luck, on my '84 Venture and looking for more information on it. I've been on many other forum sites over the years on many topics and interests but this one had a different feel to it. I guess the term I used was "interwoven". The topics, the forums, the creative nature, the shared joy of riding and the interaction between members tied it all together in a way that most sites don't. So I stuck around. My "fluke" My bike brought me here in the beginning so I guess it knew where we needed to go. I guess it should have a proper name. I suppose "Fluke" might be fitting. Last week I felt like I was fighting a losing battle by myself. Just one of those trials in life we all go through, but what happened here was a reminder I wasn't alone. That has meant a lot to me. As far as the issue with my daughter, she's feeling better. She's being treated with meds for now and we are seeing a specialist next Monday for an evaluation and probably... more tests. They are sure they found what her pain was, but don't know what actually was causing it. So on we go. And we are going to get through this together. So the best I can say is thanks Don for keeping this zoo intact and running so well and " Thank You" to each and every one of you that have offered words of kindness, advice, prayers and support for me and my daughter. We both appreciate everything that all of you have done Mike & Ashley

skydoc_17 Posted May 10, 2013 #74 Posted May 10, 2013 I pretty much have lived my life working hard, and not asking for much of anything, ever. As I have gotten older, I have found that I simply can't do the things I once did, and was forced to learn how to ask for help. I truly believe that the members of VR.ORG are a very special group. We share our joys, and our tears with each other. With the sharing comes the gift of hope. Both Jean and I hope all will work out for you and your daughter, Mike. You have been a good friend, and your humor has lifted my spirit more than once thru dark times. Like the "foot prints in the sand", we are here for you, my friend. Earl and Jean
Snaggletooth Posted May 10, 2013 #75 Posted May 10, 2013 I've always been an avid reader. About any subject by any writer. There is a writer, Daniel Meyer that writes a series of books called "Life is a Road". His stories are always entertaining and often touch a nerve. If fact many of you have posted versions of his squirrel story. But most of what he does is talk about the experience, not so much as the trip or the destinatiion. Quite a bit of it can hit close to home. One of his short pieces I keep with me. It's not only about the motorcycle trips through the darkest nights, but the events in our lives. This particular piece has been on my mind lately.
