Wow. So sorry to hear of this. Prayers ongoing. Allow me to share this with you, a little memorial postcard from a great friend and his wife- they had been expecting a 2nd son, he arrived stillborn. I taped this to the wall directly in front of my desk. "In Sweet Memory Of Our Son, Gabriel Tymon September 21, 2004 In this short time that he touched our lives, we have been shown so much of the goodness of people. That is why we wanted him here in the first place. He helped remind us of our blessings. Thank You. Tracey, Shane and Jack" They went on, had three little girls after losing Gabriel... time will heal, surely as God's grace. Alex, my earlier offer still stands, if you need a long ride out and back, my friend. |

There aren't words to express how heartbroken we are for you and Heather. I'm glad that you each had a chance to hold her before gaining her wings. She will forever be a part of your heart. I hope you find peace in the days to come. We love you. |

Just looking at the threads this morning and feel like a ton of bricks were just dropped on me. So sorry for your loss doesn't cover it. You and yours are in my thoughts. |

Saturday I got out for a couple hour ride, good to feel the wind that the angels feel. Heather, Weston and I are doing well. We're enjoying the time together without hospital runs, drs appointments and family/friends here (which we're very appreciative of). Weston understands Hope is with God and doesn't have her breathing tubes anymore. It's important to us that he understands and keeps the memory alive. We're having a small service in NC on Friday for some local friends and another service in PA next Thursday for family and friends up there. Hope's brief obituary is here: http://www.wrightcremationandfuneral.com/notices/H ope-Prior Please feel free to make a comment in the guest book- means a lot to us. we do have a link to donate to a local loss support group if there's something you'd like to contribute- we do have a ton of flowers. Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers and friendship over the years. You've all helped shape my life. Thanks again! The Priors |

Good to hear that things are settling down, friend. I got your PM, just let me know when you want a day ride out and back. I'll lead you down to Tellico Grains Bakery for lunch and a Cherohala Skyway run. |

I meant to post this last week but didn't have a chance. It's funny how God works and sends messages. So last week after I read Alex's post I was truly saddened by the news. Not knowing Alex or his family, except for posts on BadWeb, it just about brought me to tears when I found out. Anyways after reading his post and being pretty bummed out, I had to do some work on our little lathe at the shop. Now I have worked on this lathe a bunch of times and never noticed that someone taped a fortune to the shelf above the workbench. I asked my coworkers and they said it has always been there but I never noticed it even though it is at eye level. I think it's crazy that I only noticed it after reading Alex's post about his daughter. Reading this fortune put me over the edge and the tears started flowing. Now I'm not sure why I'm posting this or why I noticed the fortune after reading Alex's post, coincidence? I don't know but it really hit home.
