Such a terrible trajedy! Losing a child has to be the worst loss of all. We are not supposed to survive our children.

Re: My daughters death on 8/30/2019
A horrible life altering loss that most of us can not even imagine. You are in my thoughts and prayers
As others have said, you did a great job as a parent and as such must have so many great memories. Please don't back away from life, other family if you have any and friends. This is an unbelievable dark time in your life and you should not be alone. As one had suggested even some professional help or group sessions with others who have lost children will help with coping skills so you can get back some of those beautiful memories of your daughter, and live a good productive life for her and in her honour.
Know that many of us here at VentureRiders are sending you our strength, thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss, I cant even imagine the pain you are feeling. You will be in our thoughts at this difficult time, it may help to vent on the site rather then abandon it.
All the best at this brutally unfair time...

Re: My daughters death on 8/30/2019
I can't even imagine the grief you're going through, and I've lost 2 of mine. Such a tragedy.. It'll be hard getting on with life, but just be thankful of the good times you and your daughter had. That's something other folks never experience. The next time you take off on your bike, take her with you in your great memories. Peace and love be with your family...

Hey guys just wanted to share this with you. My only child, my daughter Hanna was killed this past Friday night in Charlotte NC, She was out with some friends celebrating a friends birthday, when they made a U turn (legally) and a Yamaha R1 running 125 mph in downtown Charlotte, hit the back passenger side door where she was sitting, and running all the way through the back seat to the other rear door, killing all three in the back seat. The guy that hit them was 22 also, and had temp tags on the bike because he'd just wrecked his other one!
My daughter was 22 years old, had everything great going for her! She went to school for orthodontics, and was just hired Friday for a job she'd wanted so so bad in orthodontics. She was to move into her new apartment the next day. My last words to her was I'd see her tomorrow at 3:00 to move her in. But instead of moving her at 3:00, I was picking out her casket exactly at 3:00.
We were best friends and buddys. Everyone said if you seen one you seen the other! She got to ride on my Venture I had just bought for the first time a week ago. I put her helmet in the casket with her, because it will never be worn by anyone else, It had a sticker on the back that said, "My Dads Biker Buddy". She was extremely well known and loved by many. There was over 400 came through the visitation Tuesday night!
The ONLY thing that I can get positive from this is, she died instantly and didn't experience any pain. She was so happy getting her new job that day, getting her new apartment, and being out with her friends. I just do NOT know how I am going to be able to carry on without her. She was my life. If I do survive, I don't know if I can throw a leg over a bike again or not! You raise your child to be careful in everything they do, and SHE WAS!! But who would EVER think their child would be killed in a back seat of a car, by a MOTORCYCLE!!
Probably the last time you'll ever hear from me on here! Be safe guys!!
I am deeply sorry for your loss its not supposed to happen this way .
We are supposed to outlive our children and life is not fair sometimes for the best of us.
I do cherish the time I took my Daughter for a weekend trip for her 21st birthday on the Venture, I will never forget the memories we made.
Remember the times you had with her keep them close to heart and maybe you can find solace out on the open road someday.....

This is horrible! My heart aches for you. Let me share a quote for you that has helped me in rough times. After the death of his son Abraham Lincoln said, "With time, we will be happy once again." Hang in there bro!

Re: My daughters death on 8/30/2019
Oh Brother I am sorry to be late here. I offer you my deepest sympathy. Things happen in the world every day that we cannot understand. The death of a child is a huge hole in your heart, I can only guess. Prayers are with and I can only say that our God has a better plan. In such a case be glad that there was no pain for her. Stay strong and keep the faith. This is no comfort from any of our words here, but I pray that God takes this pain from you guides you as to why he had need of her spirit so soon.
