Default Let me tell you a story

Theres a man who always comes to the drags. Hes 72 years old and beleive it or not he rides a DS. He doesnt act his age but eat sleeps and drinks Bombardier. Hes got grey hair and is a little on the skinny side but hes always there to watch the racing. He always talks about the class act guys that ride DS650's and always picking the guys heads for info. Choose is his favorite, he calls him spiderman and he really likes the Bomb and Mr HP. He hangs with me, RawYFZ and Drakester at the track. I think if he was young enough he would be out there giving us hell. Well that guy is my dad and this morning he came up against an obsticle that almost took him down. You see he was a smoker for years and is always short of breath. Well he got an upper chest infection and woke up have trouble breathing. He called me at work and said I cant breath meet me at the emergency room. When I got there he was grey and looked really bad. I basically drug him through the doors and they started to work. It looks as if he may have had a slight heart attack but they gave him some breathing treatments and his color came back. He is in ICU but is looking alot better. I knew he was feeling better when he started talking about a lighter axle and head work on his DS. If any of you guys pray that would be great. Put in a good word for the #1 Bomb fan and my hero. I think he is going to be okay but I really wanted to share with my Bomb brothers what hes going through. Thanks for listening and live every second like its your last. Thanks Tim

Just so everyone knows, this is my buddy and I'll tell anybody that. He is just like a grandpa to me. I always like hanging out and chatting with Pops. He is the man.

Take care

Man thats sucks to hear..It is great that your dad gets out there with you and enjoys the same things. It sure makes the relationship with him that much better. That is what life is all about..(friends and family). No matter how old you are you are never to old to hang out with the family. I sure wish my dad would get involved like yours is. I really honestly hope he gets all back to the way he was and out there doing what you both love to do. It just goes to show you that life is to short to be pissed off all the time. Get out there with the people you care about and make this short life the best you can.

You have my blessings and I will be pulling for your dad Tim.
