It takes a very special person to give up something so important to them in order to care for your parents. All parents should have such a devoted child.

Yes the day I realized I could no longer safely care for her and that she had to go to full time care in a nursing home was by far the hardest day of my life. But I had to be strong for her, just as you are strong for your mom.

Its very sad when you have to put someone in a home. My mom didn't want to go but like you say I had to be tough with her and convince her it was the best care for her.

Just wanted to say once again that hearing from all my brothers and sisters means so much. I can't tell you how much I miss riding and the entire culture. When I was riding and going to rallies, I was accepted. I found my place. I belonged. I felt one with the road and with all my fellow riders. It's hard to explain, but I know you all know the feeling.
Oh how I miss it. I am a robot now, doing all I need to do, mechanically. I will ride again when it's all over, hopefully on a big Road Glide or Ultra Glide. Nothing but a Harley will do, unless I have a second bike as a Can Am just for the different feel.
I miss feeling one with the road. Smelling the hay, fresh cut grass, BBQs, even fresh cow manure! I miss all of you more than you can know. Yeah, sounds corny, but my fellow riders are the most accepting, most understanding people I have ever known.

What you're doing for your parents and the memories you will have are worth so much more than any bike. There's always another bike. God bless and Happy New year!
