Wonderful drifters, so full of life! I am so sorry they've gone on without you. I firmly believe that those who are so much a part of us in our lives that we recognize them the moment we meet them, will be waiting for us as we move on from this life. You will see them again, and hold them more closely that you ever could in this world.

I too believe that feeling was your friend saying goodbye. I have never watched sons of anarchy, just not interested, I too knew some bikers in my day, and i have to say while I have never been that free a spirit,I envy those who are and can be.I also "get" the nobody commits nobody gets hurt" thing . I toasted just such a man in my life who passed away far too young just a year ago. Funny how some bright lights burn out so quickly. Someday maybe you and I will meet and I can tell you about Tuff . I think you would understand. Cheers girl! I hope your celebration this past weekend of their lives and your kinship was what you and they deserve.Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-70628321876779052882014-05-26T08:41:52.762-07:002014-05-26T08:41:52.762-07:00I'm so sorry Sparky is gone...

It's a very sweet story and I'm glad everything turned out well for you. My best friend is in a similar abusive husband situation so it's good to hear that some people do manage to escape.

Out of the blue, I get those phone calls too. Nothing like it and I wouldn't trade anything for them either. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about Sparkys passing and yes, it was very likely him brushing your face to say goodbye. I'm sure him and Harpo are riding together in Heaven, waiting for the day you join them. <br /><br />Even if you don't find the pictures to post, you have a whole album of them in your mind. They can't ever be lost.

There is always someone one I am supposed to meet, or something I am supposed to experience, and although the reasons why may take years to reveal themselves, they always do. <br /><br />I would say that Harpo didn't not look anything like Hulk Hogan, but if you took the Minn Vikings Mascot and made him into a real person, that would be Harpo. I used to french brain his hair into two braids, which on some would look stupid but on him...was perfect. Sparky was completely different looking than Harpo. He had dark curly hair which was usually kind of long and messy, but not dirty, just all over the place. He was blind as a bat without his glasses, and walked kind of funny from an accident he had as a child, but man was he built like a son of a gun! <br /><br />I'm sure I have those pictures somewhere, and spent a long time digging yesterday, but only found pics of Harpo's bike.

Especially May 22nd. <br /><br />I hope you find some photos. I imagine Harpo as a thinner looking Hulk Hogan only with sandy colored hair, not bleached. <br /><br />Beautiful tribute to your two favorite people.

You know, ...A couple of very special people indeed. You know, I think I would have liked you back in the day. I was talking to my husband just yesterday about how I have always been different- as he was too- we were both rebels in our own way. I had biker friends- not gang bikers, just guys who loved to ride and loved their bikes and yes, they were like you describe. Also can relate about the abusive relationship and need to get away- it takes some doing to get away, doesn't it? But I did, and you did. <br />Betcha Harpo and Sparky were sitting right there beside you, chasin' that spider this weekend.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-78629290604024364872014-05-24T18:20:30.260-07:002014-05-24T18:20:30.260-07:00Beautifully written.
