Bobbie, you and Ron have summed up a lot of the things we'd all like to do-or do once again...(I noticed you did not add, wanting to jump a ramp with a moterbike again , ;-) ) just kidding with that last line, but many of us know how you feel as we grow older with the pressure of quad life on us and our loved ones !

If I can't sleep, I want to get up in the middle of the night. I want to clean my place MY way. I want to paddle a canoe on a lake again. I want to sail my sailboat again. I want to water ski again. I want to go swimming again. I want to go snow skiing again. I want to put a back pack on and hike up a mountain camp overnight with a friend or two. I want to drive a stick shift again. I want to stay out all night and get in trouble when I get home. I want to slow dance with Pete. I want to have sex and know what it feels like. I want to have an orgasm know what it feels like. I want to have shower sex that I've never have had. I want to pack a light suitcase and drive three hours to my sisters in Saratoga, NY for the weekend. I want to be able to do yoga and tai chi. I want to rollerblade and cross country skiing for the first time. I want to be able to sew my own clothes. I want to take care of somebody that needs as much help as I do. I want to take care of Pete when he doesn't feel well. I want to learn to play the harp. I want to feel the earth between my toes. I want to be able to turn in the middle of the night without waking somebody up. I want to plant and grow vegetables and flowers in a garden. I want to take a trip to Europe with a friend. I want to be needed and have purpose. I want to go to a picnic and if it starts to rain run into the house with everybody else and not into a garage with one person keeping me company. I want to pick up and hold my nieces and nephews as infants and toddlers. I want to go to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep ... and never wake up. I'm done. It's been 41 years and each year there's a new problem. I am in so much pain in my endurance level continues to drop. My family and friends do not understand they just remembering me full of energy.

I would like to get into one more fist fight to feel im still alive. I want to feel sex again and have a regular woman that loves me next to me every night. Mostly, I want to be independent from others, show up and leave when I want to without guilt or being forced to do something. I want to sit on a toilet and feel a bowell movement. I want to go to family events again and be able to go out in the garage with the men. I want to cut grass and smell that fresh cut smell. I want to work hard at a job and get a paycheck again. I want to feel proud again. Have a bunch of buddies over and get a lil crazy. > > >Sadly a lot of these things will never happen for me anymore. I am still >greatful to be alive most of the time.
