Wow...I didn't expect this thread to turn so serious...I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine what I would do without my husband...he'* everything to me. And In 5 days he'* going to be taking the test to become a police officer...I worry about him being a cop. He'* well qualitfied for the position and it'* pretty safe around here, but still...you never know what can happen to someone in that line of work.

Even after 5 years I can imagine the sadness you still feel, and you are in my prayers. And I hope this serves as a warning to all of us here, not to get too crazy with our beloved Bonnies...we don't want any more of this sort of tragedy.

I couldn't imagine that kind of a loss either...even though I sometimes see it firsthand as a firefighter. The emotions at accidents run high, and though we have to seem somewhat callous at the scene, we get home and cry just like everyone else.

Our Bonnies do their best for us. The least we can do is stay within their limits for keeping us safe. Even though I don't listen to my own advice all the time

None of us on this site would know what to do without the ones we love...be they husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, or family members...have respect for them, too, and be careful on the roads.

Thanks, I am kind of surprised that I let that out. I cried everyday for the first year. I am better but it still hurts. I think I am starting to come out of my mourning him. It really knocked me to my knees. Now I rely on my faith to keep my strong and if the good Lord has someone special for me then he will send him my way. My only advice about your husband is to cherish each moment and burn those memories in your heart. Live without regrets and always tell each other you love each other NO MATTER WHAT!!

I'm not usually anything NEAR romantic...but that last part just made me cry...all of us need to hear what you're saying, SSE14U24ME, and we can't thank you enough, or at least, I personally can't.

I'm tearing up too...thanks for being so open with us, and I hope it makes you feel a little better to let it out. Sound advice too...I will do my best to always follow it.

wow ...thats all ...just wow.....my oldest daughter says she`ll vote for me ...then again i seem to fund her projects she gets involved in....hmmmmmmmmmmm ..my youngest ( 18 ) says she`d vote for me if she can take the 41 *****`* to school after springbreak....come to think about it i haven`t seen her or the *****`* yet this evenin lmao....plus my sweet wife of 27 years seems to say that without really saying in....... :P :P

You have precisely touched on my wife'* fears. I tell her that I can't die, that my bones must be made of rubber, and that I've cheated death on more than a few occasions. But all jesting aside, the wild streak in me has subsided, because of having a wife, and now a baby boy. I still haven't had my Bonnie over 100 mph, lol. And I do cherish them each and every moment. Now I'll do it even more for you. (Like I need an excuse, :P )

YOU....ARE....A.....HUMAN!!
You're not the true wildman... you are my plaything!! (puts index finger and thumb 1 inch apart)
(said as woody did to buzz lightyear in toy story: "you...are.. a... toy! You are not the real buzz lightyear! You are a child'* play thing! puts index finger and thumb 1inch apart)

Well said. I have to say the same thing to my husband, Rob, all the time. Here I signed on to be married to a mild mannered teacher, and he'* running off now to become a police officer! :( I always figured he'd be around well into old age, and now I have to wonder...he thinks he'* superman too (tells me that he would never die and leave me...how does he know? :? ). I support him in what he really wants to do, but it is unnerving.
