There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Heading to San Diego today

The grief and pain of losing a family member is never easy to get through. No one has to be strong all the time...... dont push your emotions aside, let it out. If you have to scream at the top of your lungs, feel free, im sure there will be others who feel the same way. Your mother will definitely appreciate the support right now and I pray that you can find some healing in your heart. As you can see from the many posts, you are not alone and we are all here for you.

Lamont - I lost my Dad a couple of years ago - lung cancer from asbestosis (spelling?) he was a nuclear research engineer for the Nuclear Regulatory Department for Canada. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Have a safe trip and allow your heart to steer your path and your mind and experiences in life to make the judgments. Like Armygurl said, no one can be all strong and unemotional at these times, so don't try - just be there for him and your mom and allow the works of our Father in Heaven to work through you and to comfort you and your family. In His hands we place our lives! Kevin in Belleville IL

So sorry you and your family have to go through this. I lost my Dad in '93 to bone cancer that had metastasized (sp?) from lung/brain cancer. I, too, saw the pain he was in at the end and could only pray for God's will to be done. Our pastor noted that perhaps that's part of the plan - no one wants to lose their loved one but after seeing what they've been through, you begin to want an end to their pain. I'm sure you'll be a great comfort for your mother and sister - you've made all of us into one big family by virtue of basically one common trait, the Spyder, so I'm sure that you must be the heart and strength of your natural family. Take care and ride safely - they are going to need you.

Lamont, as I read the many posts already sent to you, I see a common thread...that you have many brothers and sisters in Christ. Though none of us can know your pain, we all can identify with the loss of a loved one and the pain we experience when that happens. God commanded us to "love thy neighbor". I see a lot of love reaching out to you and your family..from your many known and unknown Spyder Lovers. Be safe in your travels and allow the Holy Spirit to carry you as you go through this trying time. You and your family are in our prayers...Joan & Bob (RLS)

Sending you and your family all the prayers I can muster up.
It sucks when things get inevitable. We just lost our Grammy in August (HDX's Grandmother). I still can't describe it - sucks, it was inevitable, she's in a better place, she's with her loved ones up on a cloud somewhere, but it STILL SUCKS. Just alot of emotions and thoughts. Sounds like your mom has awesome family with you and your sister - she will be okay after time - you all will but I'm still sending you all the prayers I can muster up.

Wow, I never thought there would be such a response here. We are all pretty new here and very few of us and had a chance to meet face to face but there is a true love for each other on this board. I have another site where I know a lot of the guys and gals there and I posted a update there.

Thanks for your prayers. There were some prayers answered for sure.
My flight to Houston was delayed an hour and instead of arriving at 2 pm the next flight we could get for sure was going to put us in San Diego at 11:45 pm. We got on a standby for a 4 pm but it looked like there was no way that was going to happen. At the very last minute we got three seats and made it there by 4 pm.
My day was hanging on for us to make it but it didn't look lie we would get there in time. We got to his room and prayed with him and told him it was okay to go now and he died in my arms at 6:05.
This was one of the hardest things I've ever been through and to think that I may have to do this again with my mom and my wifes mom and dad is almost too much to take.
Mom is doing well considering but now we got to get down to the nuts and bolts of getting her are her own. Not a fun day and it won't be a fun week or two but I do thank you for your thoughts and prayers, they help.

Lamont,
I am so glad you were able to be there to send your father home. I know it was hard. Listen close to the words in the song bjt posted. They say a lot. We had this song played at Kaitlyn's funeral along with Praise You in this Storm by Casting Crowns. I know music can't fix everything but it was a true comfort for me to know that someone truly understands my heart at such a time. Here are the lyrics of Homesick, share them with any family that may find comfort in them.
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
