Over five years later and I'm still trying to adjust to my new normal. And to accept the things I cannot change. Such as my son is dead and there's a permanent hole where he should be. And that life isn't fair.

How we rolled
This is the latest photo being posted by fb friends. It's not the first time I've seen something like this. The implication that we adults turned out just fine without having crazy parents like today's parents 'protecting' us from ourselves. The implication that we turned out fine and survived our childhood without having all this new fangled protection.
Sadly, I am a crazy person. Because when I look at this picture, my first reaction is ... yeah, we survived, but someone didn't. Someone's child died doing just this; hence why knee pads,helmets and brakes DO exist today.
