Your dad had a long and wondrous life. What a fabulous moment captured with him on that motorcycle. You're lucky to have had two parents who loved you and whom you loved in return. Life is good. Thank you for sharing the dark side of passion with us. .-= Cheryl from thatgirlisfunny´s last blog ..passion and fascination – two essential ingredients for RAOKA =-.

Thank you, my dear friend. I know you’re there for me, even if you’re hundreds of miles away.

Gayle, my dear friend … I was so touched by this very moving tribute to your Pop … and by your eloquent musings on passion in its many forms. Like Sami said above, I had never given much thought to the dark side of passion. My wish for you is that with time and healing, you’ll find the happy memories outweighing the sadness, the grief, the feelings of being alone, lost and adrift. I hope the golden memories will help the others fade away with time. Perhaps sharing your heart as you have done will help someone else with their grief and confused feelings. As always, my heart and my prayers are with you daily … sending healing thoughts your way …

Thank you, Sami. It’s hard, in these early days after such an event, to truly grasp on to the brightness and joy of memories past. Writing my Passion post today has helped me to do that a bit. I’ve even made Dad’s motorcycle photo my screen background, so I can see that grin and victory pose through my tears.

Wow Gayze, you have given your grief such a beautiful and powerful voice here. I’ve never thought of passion having a dark side but it really can. You’ve explained that amazingly well. An awesome tribute to your Dad too. I’m sending you big hugs and much love. Take care of yourself.

Thank you, Lori. That was my dad’s first Goldwing, photo taken circa 1977 or so. He traded that up for an even larger one some years later and he rode that bike till he was in his seventies, when a friend of mine bought it from him after Pop found he had trouble keeping the thing upright.

Hi Gayze,

I’m glad you are posting for RAOKA today, Gayze, this crusade wouldn’t be the same without your thoughts here today.

More importantly, thank you for sharing this from your heart; my thoughts and good vibrations are surrounding you like a huge hug. I will be sending you all my best over the coming weeks and months as you deal with such loss.

Also, the photo of your father with the Goldwing was incredibly touching. What an amazing man.

Sending you peace and love!
~xo!
