Hard To See

It was Hard to See you lying there in the street surrounded by paramedics.
It was Hard to See you clench your teeth in pain as you told the paramedics that your leg was broken.
It was Hard to See you being lifted into the ambulance leaving me behind.
It was Hard to See your motorcycle all banged up and broken just like you were.
It was Hard to See you in tears in the ER because the pain was so extreme.
It was Hard to See you go in and out of the hospital for a month.
It was Hard to See our daughter break down in tears when she realized that her dad was breakable.
It was Hard to See you in External Traction struggling to walk short distances.
It was Hard to See your frustration with the simple tasks you could not longer do.
It was Hard to See you struggle to breath.
It was Hard to See the pictures of your fluid filled lungs.
It was Hard to See the X-rays of your newly constructed leg of plates, and screws.
It was Hard to See you in even more pain after your second surgery.
It was Hard to See your spirit getting tired and worn.
It was Hard to See you moan with every heartbeat and breath.
It was Hard to See an empty right side of the bed.
It was Hard to See you try so hard to stay positive even though you are going through Hell.
It was Hard to See your tired eyes longing for some relief.

It IS Hard to See a loved one get hurt.

Please please please, keep a vigilant eye out for other cars and motorcycles. Be cautious.  Your actions can truly affect the entirety of someone else's life.
