A man who lost his leg when a driver went through a red light and hit his motorcycle. Weeks later, he told me his story and it touched me deeply.
Surviving the Crash
By Larry Linville
He had his motorbike under control
as he was on his way to work.
An oncoming car drove through the red light
and it was driven by a jerk.
His big body quickly flew into space
as he folded his arms at his chest.
He wanted to keep from breaking his arms
and he knew that position was best.
He spoke of his arms to the person who helped
but that person corrected his tale.
His arms weren’t tucked in like he thought they were.
They were spread as they both did flail
With his eyes full of grace he looked at me,
from a great truth he never shrugged.
If his arms were where the other man said
then he knew he was being hugged.
As each of us takes our travels through life
and when we have done all we can.
We can look back in joy and thankfulness
for the hug we get from the Man.
OMG, Larry, YOu know have no idea (then again, maybe you do) My Fiancee, was just in a Harley (bike) accident in Aug. 2007, and he did break his leg, lower and has a plate and #9 screws, a HUGE Hemotoma (water under his thigh) and it's so big, he can barely wear jeans, was on crutches/out of work/meds. but HE IS ALIVE, and He hit the back end of a truck that stopped from the Truck in front of him witha carring trailor at a STop Light, takinga turn to D.Donuts. Going to work (AFTER 1 WEEK Vacation OFF too) Paul had a longer Vacation and not FUN, but he made it and can still build his Tube Amps, he builds to SEll! Thank Jesus in the GREAT Big Heavens, Angels were watching over him, and we met ONLINE (Match.com) almost 6 yrs. ago, and he moved in 1st mo. I knew a fine intellegent man and I wasn't going to lose him! God sent him! I felt it in my heart and he has #3 kids (still growing) longer story later... sometime, well yOU brought a lot OUT of my heart!

It was for this very reason I stopped riding motorcycles on the streets, after I had to lay down a bike for the third time in one month. The lady who didn't "see" me was complaining about how I had scratched her new Mercedes. Plus the fact I have seen too many head injuries.
The quaint little town of Pinecrest in the mountains of Arizona faces its most harrowing challenge yet—a chilling murder that sends shockwaves through the community.
