Biker Held The Screaming Toddler For 6 Hours When Nobody Else Could Calm Him Down

And it’s rumbling forward, one heartbeat at a time.

One ride at a time.

One biker teaching one boy that love wears leather and heroes don’t always look like heroes.

They just show up.

And hold you.

And make the world a little less scary.

That’s Dale’s legacy.

That’s Emmett’s inheritance.

And that’s why, sixteen years from now, when a young man with autism climbs onto a 1987 Harley-Davidson and opens a letter from a biker who died when he was two, the world will hear that motorcycle rumble and know:

Dale Ironside Murphy is still here.

Still holding them.

Still showing up.

Still proving that the best of us wear leather and give everything they have left to make sure nobody hurts alone.

Rev it up, Emmett.

Dale would be so proud.

Your big brother is riding with you.

Always.
