Thoughts and Prayers, please.

This morning, xx_wolfie_xx's best friend was killed in a hit and run. He was riding his motorcycle to give a class on bike safety and was rearended. The coward, the fucking asshole ran over him without stopping and just kept going. We found out just a few hours ago. Wolfie is also very ill, too ill for us to go see his best friend's wife and children. They are with their grandparents, and his wife is out of town, but on her way back. My poor wolfie.

I don't know how to be there for him. I don't know how to help him. I don't know what to do.

This man was the first of this circle of friends I met when I moved to a brand new city to be with the man I love. He welcomed me with a hug. He said he was so happy to meet me, and couldn't wait to get to know me.

I don't know what to do. Please remember him. Please remember all of us. PLEASE don't let this thread degenerate into a fratching post about motorcyclists, cyclist safety, or motorcycle laws. Please.

I wish this was a sick joke. I wish this was a nightmare. What are we going to do?

RIP Gabriel Sanchez. You made everyone better, just for knowing you.

Many, MANY, MANY! thoughts and hugs to you and xx_wolfie_xx.

It's a tragedy in the literal sense of the word.

*hugs*

Sometimes all you can do is just be there. He might not know what he needs from you, either. You have to figure it out as you go along.

I have an ex whose mother passed away while we were dating. I felt the same way; didn't know what to do or how to help. He told me later that just my being there for him was enough.

Hugs to both of you, so much. Could you call and express your condolences or send a card? And the other part of me says #%$%&$%&$%#@%&&***!@# to the hit and run person. ESPECIALLY CUZ HE RODE A BIKE.

*whines and hugs tightly* You have my number if you need me.

Wow. I'm so sorry about that, and offer my condolences to you and wolfie. I also hope the pathetic waste of air is caught, and severely punished.

We've already called his 13 year daughter, who is understandably hysterical. His (Gabriel's) parents are taking care of the children right now, and we're going to find a way to go see them, soon, as soon as wolfie is feeling better.

I don't know details. I just know Gabriel was on his motorcycle, and it was a driver of a car that killed him. That's it. I know he's gone.

Fuck.

[Crossbow]

I'm so sorry, Lupo. My thoughts and prayers are with you, wolfie, and Gabriel's family.

[Food Lady]

Oh, I am so sorry! Please hug wolfie gently for me. Just horrible.

[morgana]

Oh, my dear! I sorrow for you, and wolfie, and the man's poor family.

The driver . . . may he rot in hell.

[kansasgal]

I'm sorry to hear this, I have many friends who ride, as do I, and have been through this myself. My thoughts are with you and Wolfie and the family.

[Mishi]

I am so, so sorry! My deepest condolences to Wolfie and Gabriel's family.

[Not Lillith]

I'm so sorry to hear this.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

What is it with the hit and runs lately?

Every time I think humanity can't go any lower, it breaks out the pickaxes and dynamite.
