Rhonda aka RaRa's blog: "Personal"

I know that only a few of you know personal friends of mine, outside of Fubar but I just received horrifying news. A long time friend of mine just lost his son due to a motorcycle accident that happened last night. Realize that I met them through a classmate of mine many years ago. The father is a Sgt. at our local police station and just an all around great guy and most importantly, a great father! We just talked a few weeks ago before he left on a road trip with his 2 sons, 17 & 12 years old, who are his life. He fought long and hard, while going through a divorce years ago to gain custody of them and they have lived a happily family since until this tragedy has happened. Just last week, we were talking about what a great time they had and how much fun they have together and how his oldest was about to turn 18 next month, etc. & then this morning, I get many phone calls and messages telling me his oldest has died. 17!!! And so sad to say that he had just gotten the bike but had been on one since he was a kid. I would never want to guess what happened. It is just devastating that such a young life was taken and I just can not imagine what his family is experiencing at this time and for many years to come. They were raised well and turned out to be such great kids! Unbelievable how things can happen! Please, if you would, keep their family (sorry I have to keep their names out of this blog) in your thoughts & prayers and remind your loved ones not only how much you love them but that they should cherish every moment they have here on Earth because tomorrow may never come! :( R.I.P.
