You seem to have forgot the order of things :
Love order : 1 Lord your God
2 Wife and Family
3 Big Single Cylinder Motorcycles and the people who ride them.
Just remember which one comes first.
I saw a Man slowly die about a year ago. The last 36 hours or so he couldn't talk , had the look of shock on his person , it was like he had been given a glimmise of HELL and was in shock. All he could do was to Grunt and shy away from people.
I though I knew the look of Terror till I looked into his eyes those last few hour, then I realized I had no idea what terror was !
It was darn-right spookey. Like a see it to believe it thing !
I too saw a man die very recently my Dad to be exact,
the day after fathers day.I had wheeled him out for a cigarette a few times that afternoon,finnally he said ,"Mick, it's time to go" I said ok thinking he just wanted to go in for dinner,he refused dinner and asked to go to bed.that is where I took him.
He said he had a nice time the day before seeing the whole family.
I sat on the bed with him,his eyes closed ,his monitor was steady,he said several times "Lets go" .................."Lets go", he never opened his eyes again as far as I know. I was not there when he just went to sleep,his nurse told me it was absolutly painless . he just went to an extended sleep.
My Dad being an atheist had no fear ,there is nothing to fear ,we all die ,some sooner than later,he did good ,lived until 95 .
One of my Dads favorite quotes was " I cannot believe in a god that want's to be praised all the time" talk about your ego maniac.
