It was on Thursday, May 16, 2019, that I took this picture shortly after the first rainstorm of that day. Pops was eager for the rain to stop so he could ride “Magic” his carbon-fiber racing bike. He was all decked out in his racing gear, teasing Layla and me while he waited for the rain to stop so he could ride. It would be his last ride on Magic. While he was feeling great and we thought we had found the miracle drug to beat his cancer, that was not the case.
Everything changed within the next 24 hours, and he checked out early on May 24th. Gone but not forgotten. Still grateful for those last four weeks 
of great health, after all we had been through with the cancer treatments that final year.
