Check out Casey's blog..she put a lil tribute on there about "John's Helmet". When Kelby was here last weekend he had helped Dave out in the garage ALL day working on a bike he has. It was not running at all...but after a full's days work in the garage they finally got the bike started, and they were ready to go for a ride! Only one little problem..Kelby didnt have a helmet. Dave suggested we pull out John's helmet.... I was a little hesitent, since he was wearing the helmet when he died, and he was the last person to wear it. It has been tucked inside a box ever since, never to be re-opened again. My sissy told me that this ride would be in memory of him. So, With all the gang cheering me on LOL..we decided to pull it out of the attic. We didn't have a ladder and Dave had to pretend he was a gymnast to get up there, along w Kelby, and he had to do the chinese splits on the way down LOL!!! But, they found it,and the helmet made its way out of the dusty boX! We all looked at the big black scrape on the side and got a little quiet and teary eyed, but all tears were held as we knew the boys had a fun ride ahead!!! The Boys made there way up the canyon to Mt. Charleston and had a great RidE!!!! Memories to last a lifetime!!! Cheesy as it sounds, I'm sure John was right there with them enjoying every last second. John was there when Kelby was born and Casey even told John she "really loved him" (she was high on pain meds LOL) so I'm sure John was thrilled to see Kelby wear it PrOuD!!!

OMG I laughed so hard and then ended up teary eyed after reading that. *two thumbs up*
Way to go Kelby!!! That put a tear in my eyes too.
Cool post. Glad you dug the helmet out and let Kelby wear it. John would be proud...
