I lost my 93-year-old mother last night at 9:05 pm from natural causes. I watched her take her last breath. It was beautiful. She has joined my father at last...I lost him 40 years ago same month if you can believe it. It's all good. The reason I am sharing this very monumentally personal event with you all tonight is because it really does seem like a family here on
The Cabe. I ask that you call your parents if you still have them here on this earth and tell them you love them. Life really is short. One love...
As I have posted to this thread over the past years, I would share my posts with her after my rides as she was a huge rider and enjoyed the process of picking the images and posting them up with me. Her last ride was at 86-yrs old. She crashed once on her road bike at that age and compound-fractured her pinkie, got up, looked at it then rode her bike home 10 miles from Huntington Beach to her home in Costa Mesa and then drove herself to the ER. A member of the greatest generation that passed during a very strange time..... So to send her off to the better place she has so successfully reached, I dedicated to her a short spin around the hood..I will miss her..ride on Nina, ride on. Your son.

These mourning doves flew in and sat on the fence in front of the kitchen window right when I got up to make coffee this morning. They sat for an hour in the rain to celebrate her passing and to console me. Her favorite bird species.
