A couple of days with your Leadville Family won't replace the gaping hole in your heart, but might be just what the Doctor ordered. Diversions and short-lived decompressions are good medicine as you try to find your metaphorical first gear. Allez, Fatty, if you can... Fatty –

It should not be a heavy heart that holds you back, but the wings of an angel to carry you to the finish line. You and your family is in our hearts and our prayers. Elden,

If you can find the strength…race.

It should not be a heavy heart that holds you back, but the wings of an angel to carry you to the finish line.

You and your family is in our hearts and our prayers.

I know you know this, but I'm going to say it anyway. You have the right to participate in the same activities you would have participated in if the other person were healthy. Do I need to toss out that tired oxygen mask analogy? You know the one...put your oxygen mask on first before helping the person next to you. You know your situation best. Everyone here only knows what you've shared with us. Whatever your decision, make sure there is peace in it for YOU.

I missed half my bike racing season to be with my mother and I don't regret it for a second. There's always another season but you always wish you had spent a few more moments with that person. Down the road no one will remember that you skipped Leadville this once. But whatever happens Susan and your family will remember the time you spent during this period. Those are the people who matter and they will remember. Just my 2 cents. I lost my mother to cancer and following your blog is unfortunately a familiar story to me in many ways.

But I can understand how hard it is to miss something that you've done for the past 12 years. I'm also glad that through this horrible ordeal, you've been able to maintain your cycling; I think it has helped to sustain you. None of us are up to being a caregiver 24/7. Warmest thoughts with you and your family. I think you already know in your heart what you’re going to do, and where you most need to be.
