Default My riding partner in the ICU

Well, just when we thought it could not get any worse, or when we thought things were getting better after our loss, we found out my son has Gastric Stomach Cancer. He is 17 yrs old and my very best riding partner. We have covered many many miles over the past few months. He rides a 883 sporty that he loves and is building in the Wilie G theme.
So i sit here in the ICU after they have removed his stomach and pray to whatever God there is out there that they got all the cancer from his body out.
In his short time he has had so many problems medically, similar problems his sister had who passed away in the fall of last year. I can only imagine what goes through is mind while we are our riding the bikes.
Unfortunate we don't think he will be able to ride in the benefit ride we have organized for this July in hi sisters honor. All he talks about is getting back on his bike. He is defiantly his fathers son.
Carl

I'm so sorry to hear this. Just tonight I got news that my best friends wife may have have to battle breast cancer for the second time in the last few years. I will be praying for you, your son, and the rest of your family.

Carl, my thoughts and prayers are with you, I lost a close freind of mine Tuesday in an accident, it's hard in these times to figure out a purpose or reason, but stay strong and hopefully he'll be back riding with you soon, God Bless you and your family
