My then newly retired former Pennsylvania State Police Sergeant (& former Army) brother-in-law at Grey Reef, Wyoming, two Junes ago...

Image

At his full millitary/State Police funeral only three weeks later, with my wife, his 3 daughters, and his widow at his graveside service...

He was 54 years old at the time. I've come to truly hate motorcycles. My wife is back there now, still dealing with the aftermath of it all.

None of us know when our time is up. We are all responsible for our own happiness, so...make every day count.
