    Dude, I know this is difficult ... I do ... and I am deeply empathetic to your loss and pain but broken heart, broken body and all, my entire philosophy in life has been I'd rather be 80 in my rocking chair saying "Damn, I'm glad I did" then "Gee, I wish I had." Life has a way of crushing us whether we stroll through a garden for pleasure or jump out of airplanes or freight train our way through boiling whitewater or climb freezing, tortuous mountains ... The way I see it is since life will try to crush me REGARDLESS ... I'd rather life crush me doing something that otherwise brings me immense joy and pleasure. I wish you the very best and appreciate your sharing these difficult moments with us.

    Sorry for your loss, I know it's rough. I've lost a few friends along the way too. I wanted to give up paddling but I knew they would want me to keep going. Sometimes I swear that I can feel their presence on the water and it gives me great peace... Don't give up, stay safe, SYOTR.

    Quite a lot of orange lights on your dashboard. Time to dial it back.
