ADS vWORK, 983-5301 IF, ONLY TIME COULD MOVE BACKWARDS! Over the past year, I've written funny columns, sad columns and those bordering on the ridiculous. But I've neyer wrtten one like this. This one deals with tragedy, my own personal tragedy and the kmnd that you take for granted happens 10 everyone else in some far away town, but will neyer happen to you. More and more motor- cycles are on the road today and ko are more and more et- ratic drivers. Both my sisters and 1 along with the men are guilty of travelling in the cheap economiîcal circle of the motorbike. On July 28, 1985 mny sîster while travelling with her hus- band on their bike were hit in a head-oni collisiom. She died" immnediately. Her husband, although alive wîll neyer be the samne person. Suddenly 1 was placed in the position of being the older sister, in place of the one whose life was snuffed out so unexpecydly. Within. a blink of an eye, a family of four was splintered, sisters Iost a sister, mother lost a daughter and brother lost a friend. Laughter and good times which were there an hour before became memories of intense Pain. "The good die young" is a phrase one often hears. Somne where it bears a lot of truth. Xthough flot religious, aI es the Bible was dragged out searching for answers, talks with the minister still left blanks, holding a tiny girl while she cried for mommy wrenched a huge hole in the heart and being a friend 10 a floundering teenage boy gave somne solaçe. The week passed with floating seas of people, each helping in their own way. Anger, hurt pain, resentment and tears marked ils own spot in our lives, Selfishness made us blind, just as tears hid our vision of the future. We used to be three who looked aiike, were aiike and even had their ears pierced alike. Through frîends and relatives, through taiking and tears we turned our heads- toward two people who had flot only lost a mother but a portion in their lives that can neyer be replaced. And we learned by growing stronger through the needs of others. We learned when we saw tears brushed aside and ap- petites begin 10 pick up. We closed our eyes and sent a prayer heavenways when the dirt bikes were shined up and the same helmel that their mother had been wearing was donned wîh pride. We learn- ed to talk about "Mommy" the way she %vas,, even when the lump in our îhroats made us slur the words. We learned that life for themn as well as us had 10 go on. We cried and laughed with both. And we gave hugs. And for the time being brought them 10o the Funny Farm where work is encouraged, play time is granted and the rugrats already here cycled around 10 enfold the newest clan. At hasn't gotten any easier yet, the pain is still as great, the emptiness is stili there, the question "WHY" still haunts us every night. But the kids are rallying, and through their strength we are aiso learning 10 cope. College- Extension Courses- Sept. 23 Durham College Extension courses begin the week of September 23.
