Oh my dear God. This is an absolute shock for me. Life isn't treating poor Strider very well.
My mind is so empty, but still memories jump in and are replaced by other Strider-memories in a flash. And I can't get the picture of him as I see him lying on the streets, just after the accident.
I came across him when his parents had recently died. I remember him asking his brother something about his German heritage and I showed him where he came from. Then a couple of months later I heard his brother (and wife or GF, can't remember) had also died.
After that his GF, Doe was hurt in a car-crash.
And now him...
I don't know what to say. It can still swing both ways. Let's all wish him the strength to recover and all his beloved ones and the people who love him all the best.
Also to you, Doe.
