Why did the Dragon Disapear

  • July 30, 2013 3:52 AM PDT
    I feel like I owe my Cycle Fish Family an explaination of why I suddenly droped off the face of the earth without notice. I hope you don't find this to be in bad taste.
    As you know I moved to Pigeon Forge Tennessee back in February of this year, just to find new riding areas, and start a new life if you will.
    I had been dating back in Texas one of the Cycle Fish Family members, who went by the name of Dolly Baby, she road a white sportster with pink Flames on it. When I left Texas in February I throught it was best for the two of us, as we had our moments. Well somehow she made me believe it would a good idea if she moved to Tennessee with me. She came back here the first of April. Everything was going great until April 10 when she killed herself with a over dose of drugs. I had never experienced anything like that before, and I didn't know how to handle things. Thank God I have a couple of really good friends here that helped me past that. If you have never been through something like that it's hard to explain. Instead of running toward my Cycle Fish Family I became somewhat of a recluse of sorts, and ran away from everyone. I found out to late Stacy had some problems letting go of the fact her son was killed in a car wreck a year before.

    Anyway like I said my friends and the fact I have re-connected with God kept me going. I have met a great person that believes in me and God as well, and she has help me a lot make a come back if you will. Let me tell you ....when God takes something from you he will replace it with something better for you.
    Getting back on Cycle Fish with my Family is just another step in the process of comming back to my normal self...........if I was ever normal..LOL!

    Thanks everyone hope this hasn't put a dark cloud over the site

    Dragon, It sounds like you have been to hell and back. Sorry to hear of your loss, I don't have any words to say that you may not have heard already. But I glad you have gotten to the point of coming back home.

    Damn Dragon... That is one tough sum-bitch to live thru. Guess that the situations that arise in our lives define us. Well, actually it's how we handle/cope with them that define us. Some folks just kinda wither and die inside, others feel rage/hatred/self-pity and so on.
    Sounds like you tapped into the well-spring some call Faith. Whatever works for you, I'm all for it.
    It's good to see yer ugly smiling mug back on the pages... So LiveLoveRide, respect yourself and we are all here and rooting for ya.. Bro.

    Gypsy and I both can empathize and we're happy you're outlook is positive.  We didn't get that opportunity to meet in Pigeon Forge earlier this year but we'll be back down that way again.  Peace brother.

    Wow, never had to deal with that, thank God.
    Praying things stay smoother for you, welcome back.

    God bless you Dragon. I knew Dolly a little from talking to her on Cyclefish and facebook and she was a good person and friend. I am so sorry for your loss. That has to be devastating. You never know what someone else is going through and I'm sure that losing her son was the worst possible thing that could happen to her. I am glad God got you through this and also put someone in your life that loves you. I nearly lost the love of my life 2 months ago by a stroke. God has let me keep her for a while more. Don't know what I would do without her. So , I'm glad you are back and glad things have turned around for you.

    God is with you. And I'm happy you've come back to the "fold". I am truly sorry about Dolly, and I know that must've been one of the hardest seasons, you've ever had to go thru. Just know, it had nothing to do with you, Kenny, OK? Her pain was greater, than she felt she could overcome, that's all. I have counseled many who felt that was their best option. Happily, with God, and time, most turned those thoughts around. That YOU'VE moved past this season, and found someone who will cherish you, is a testament, to God's love, on our lives.

    Glad your BACK! <3

    Hey Dragon, It's good to see you around again. Without sounding to corny, we missed you and CF wasn't the same without your comments.
