Featured A Real Love Story .

Meh...




Only kidding, some folk are meant to be together... I found my lass and it sounds like you’ve found yours! It’s just your back story could be part of a book or film. Have a bloody good partnership. Thanks for sharing...

 

Now you've got there Wayne @Havit , make the most of it. I'm sure you will.
All the very best to both of you.

 

It's so nice to hear a story with a truly happy ending. True love is never lost.

Live long and prosper. Together.

 

We are supposed to be hardened bikers
Don't know ya buddy but by feck I'm really happy for ya

 

Thanks for sharing the story with us all Wayne, it bought a tear to my eyes life can be amazing sometimes all the best to you both.

 

Puts alot of what is happening at the moment into perspective!!
Great to hear someone has something to Smile about these days;
Good luck in your new/old adventure

 

How horrible. Hopefully some day one way or another he will receive justice, @Havit, even if you never know about it. I just can't fathom how someone can commit a hit and run like this. And in the case of Austin Baker it seems he had accomplices, too. It simply boggles my mind that someone could flee the scene of an accident like yours. And that others would cover for him.

A similar thing happened to a former cycling teammate very recently. She was hit by a car about three weeks ago while out on a morning training ride. The driver left the scene and to date has not been identified. There were no witnesses. She is still in the hospital and has been in the ICU on a ventilator the entire time. She has horrific injuries--a double compound fracture in her left leg, a shattered pelvis and two broken hips, many broken ribs, a punctured lung, and possible brain damage. I think she also had damage to one of her internal organs, her spleen is what another friend told me. She has already had at least one surgery, that one to put a rod in her upper spine. Because of COVID and limited visitation time (for family only), most of us in the cycling community don't even know whether that's the full extent of her injuries or what her prognosis is. A mutual friend who's a physician to both Martha and me said she doubts whether Martha will walk again much less ride. And riding is truly Martha's life.

So, Wayne, reading about Austin Baker and knowing there are Austin Bakers in the world is infuriating. But knowing the happy ending years later for Donna and you is beautiful!

 

Have fun today, you two! And this time around please buy Donna a better ring.

 

Well, i split up from a girl (well, she dumped me...) for me opening up a can of coke and it fizzed up onto her dress.....
Queue jokes.....
But, i'm ok now as it was 1985, at the school disco and i've literally no idea where rachel wardy, 50, turnbull close, walpole st andrew is now....
Or, if she's divorced since 2018 in august ....
Only joking!!!!!!!
I'm over it......
Never think about it....

 

@Havit, well pleased for you True that the wheel sometimes does turn full circle and present you with a second chance. Errr... Do the forum massive get an invite to the wedding shindig?

And vindication for faecesbook too, maybe it does have a use after all

 

Brilliant Wayne all the best with rekindling your love as Lenon said love is all you need
Just hope you've confessed to your former life as Gloria

 

Oh yeah forgot we all need to come to the wedding

 

As everyone else has already said, great to hear that you and your lady have been brought back together after all the years and everything you have been through. Nice to hear a little happiness falling into lives in these turbulent times. Don't worry about Mr Baker, he may have thought he was teflon and had little care for lives he ruined but I believe that Hell is real and, if he hasn't already reached there, he surely will and he will spend all time until time itself ends learning what real pain is.

 

And maybe, just maybe Austin Baker is stupid enough to be on facebook

 

Not only is it a beautiful story, but the telling of it helps all of us. In these difficult times, to believe that good things like this happen, is what we need. Shades of Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal.

My breathing's gone a bit thick. Must be the b****y virus.
