Remembrance Thread....

[MyGSXF]

Ok everyone.. this is a thread all about remembering those we have loved & lost!! :grouphug:

I was walking through the Richmond Mall today on my way to get the groceries, & I passed the local Hospice "Tree of Rembrance". I kept walking, then had a thought..so I turned around & went back.. gave my donation & with tears in my eyes I wrote on a gold star.. "our fallen KB members" & put it high up in the tree. Then carried on my way, with a gentle smile on my face, thinking of our friends & loved ones, especially those recently passed.

So, please put the names of your loved ones on here, so we can all share in their memories together, at this special time of year!!! Be they motorcyclists, or not!!!

I was thinking of me old grandad Captain James Stewart (WW2 POW), and I did a bit of a google and came upon this website:

www.nzetc.org (http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/name-004778.html)

It's got alsorts of historical records in electronic format. I'm off home to show my mum!

Yes, well, Christmas is a time I often remember those that have passed on - RIP Dad (he died of cancer when I was 13), Nana, my brother-in-law - Ray (he took his own life), Aunties and Uncles, Ron - my father-in-law, who passed away suddenly just after New Year 2001 and oldfart (Bruce). You are all in my thoughts - please keep us safe this Christmas.

I did the same a few Xmases back when I saw one of those trees in the mall. It was just after my poppa had died, two weeks before his 80th birthday, and the tears came to my eyes also as I remembered just how much he loved making sure we kids had a fantastic Xmas, right up until his last. Love you pop.

Too many family members, friends, acquaintances and pets to list.

It never fails to amaze me what can trigger memories of each of them, at the oddest times and circumstances. It marks a special life that can live on in the hearts and minds of others.

[onearmedbandit]

Wow, reading some of these makes me realise just how good I've had it, not really having anyone close to me pass away, or being too young to remember. On the other hand it gives me a glimpse of what the future does hold.

[laRIKin]

To fallen mates I use to ride with and Dray who can still bring a tear to my eye.

[MyGSXF]

To who ever it was that gave me the green rep for this thread, & the comment that it helps to keep their memory alive (re: our fallen kb'rs..)

I assume I can speak for everyone on here when I say... as long as there is KB, & ALL of us, & especially those who knew them personally.. their memories will NEVER die!!! They live on in ALL of us!! I didn't know any of them.. but I miss them.. they were a part of me too, as fellow motorcyclists & most definately as fellow KB'rs!!

TOGETHER WE STAND.. UNITED WE RIDE... ALWAYS!!!

My thoughts & much love go to their family & friends at this time!!! :grouphug:

[et al]

Trying not to dwell on it but.... am thinking of my Mother (and Nana to Stu_Dog, Gunner, Foz) who passed away in April of this year. Tomorrow we go to watch Cemetery Circuit racing as usual however for the first time in our lives the Family home and more importantly Mum/Nana is not there for us to drop in and see before and after the races..... is certainly going to be mixed emotions this time.
