You will be the wind that swirls around our skirts in the fall,the sand under our feet on the shores, the angel on our sons shoulder as he flies through the air motocross racing...but for now, for today,you must appear to us as buckets of tears at our feet as the tears race down our cheeks....a life worth living,a soul worth admiring, a courageous fighter, a true hero to look up to
