My Heart is Breaking Today.

My heart is breaking today. A very close friend and family member of mine was killed over the weekend. He was on his beautiful Harley-Davidson motorcycle, he and his wife, and was struck by a drunk driver. Terry was killed instantly and his wife suffered a severe broken leg, but she will be ok. I had the great pleasure of working for Terry Sprague at Campbell's Harley-Davidson in Marion Illinois. Terry was my wife's cousin and someone that I had met numerous times at family gatherings and etc.. But this time, I would get to be around him and find out personally what a great person he was. So, over the course of the next year or so I was around Terry everyday except sundays. Terry was one of the most consistent and christ like person that I have ever met. Of all places, a Harley shop is where I got to admire what a real christian is and watch him in action. You see this point in my life was one of the most trying times that I had ever went through, and there in the shop I found a rock of consistency and comfort. I will truly miss this great man. I will miss the jokes and humor and little talks about life, but most of all, I will miss the friend that I made. I hope I could be half of the man that Terry was and live my life to the fullest like he did. I want to say thank you to Terry and Shara (his wife) for being amazing people and for impacting a life just by living the life that you preached. My heart is breaking today, but my heart is yearning for the day when we meet again on that beautiful shore, in heaven. Until then......
