My mothers cousin who would have only been 45 today died from a gruesome motorcycle accident before he turned 21 and him and my mother were really close.
I dont think she has ever fully grasped or gotten over his death.
My own father almost lost his life in a similar motorcycle accident on the highway but walked away just with some brain damage. He became really OCD after the crash and has a really poor memory as well as hearing issues. I tend to think the accident was the cause.
My own brother almost died while performing at a motocross race and was in the hospital for weeks.
He suffered a severe concussion, memory loss, and broke his clavicle.
Our family has always played with large toys and still pay the price of it these days.
Jet skis, jeep flipping, four wheeler racing as a child....yeah I dont know how I'm alive.
Theres something so different about a death due to a motorcycle accident, I'm not sure what it is but it's almost more tragic.
Maybe it's because a motorcycle represents freedom and when an accident happens the ideal is completely flipped. Im not sure...
Either way condolences for his family, blood or otherwise
