We can practice until our minds are numb and our fingers bleed. We can be as careful as humanly possible and yet...we can still make mistakes. Sometimes it is us that makes the mistakes that will alter our lives forever. Other times, it is another person who makes that descide mistake that impacts us. We can practice and we can be careful, but at the end, we all wind up six feet underground.

I remember sitting on my Harley at the red light, my helmet on, my senses aware of the drivers around me. It had been a nice day and I had opted to take my Harley to my shift at the hospital rather than my car. The light had turned green and I remember clear as day that I looked to make sure traffic had stopped before I began to cross.

They say loud pipes save lives and I believe that still today. You could hear my bike coming from a mile away. However, sometimes you just cannot protect yourself from the stupidity of other people.

The car that hit me came too fast for me to see. What happened next was a blur of spinning color and blinding pain...then nothing.
