Ironwolf
The Knife Poet
I know this is a place for knife related things,
but this is of huge importance to me,
(as one of my best friends was killed by a cager not long ago)
and probably touches on some of you as well...
I wanted it to be highly visible.
It is a reminder to all of us: we have a responsibility to those who have died on,or by the roadside,and those
left behind...To be ourselves,safer more aware,and to instill this in
others.When you see unsafe driving,do something about it...you may be saving the life of someone you know and love.http://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Memory-Of-a-book-t......o-remember/121844371208633

A friend just emailed me regarding this post...
Here's why this book hits me with such impact:
My friend Dave was killed awhile back when a fella in a truck tried to scoot across 3 lanes of highway directly in front of Dave who was on a motorcycle.
It's thought that the guy didn't see Dave, but saw the cars behind him,
and tried to get into the turning lane ahead of the traffic...
Dave hit the truck broadside,went over the handlebars and even though he was wearing body armour,when he hit the back corner of the cab, it crushed his chest, ripping the aorta from his heart. They told Michelle (Dave's wife and mother of their 2 young sons) that he died instantly,
but they were trying to be kind,
because,even when the heart is stopped suddenly, the brain,and Mind still live for a few minutes...
and that's a long time to think about leaving a wife,and 2 sons (one was only a month old)
behind.
The old fella driving the truck also died at the scene,of a heart attack.
Too many people left behind with a heavy darkness that will never be lifted,
all because of one man's impatience,and carelessness.
