All the ‘I told you so’s’ came to light on May 25th. To everyone reading this post, I’m the mean evil stepmother that bitched at him everytime he walked out that door and got on his bike. It only came from my heart and love for him! I KNEW this bike would be the death of him but I also KNEW the love he had for this bike. Thanks for laying all the black skid marks in front of our house everytime you left. I think that was Cody’s signature via his love for his bike. I am soooo happy you and your daddy got closer this past year!! What a gift that’s been for Tim King!! You were the free-est spirit I’ve ever met. Please use your spirit wherever you are to watch over your pops and your baby. Thank you for the greatest gift of all which is Elias. We love you to the moon and beyond!! Rest easy & continue to be the free spirit that you are, wherever you are."
