AlaskanEx, Prayers to you and your dad!

Think of it this way, the Explorer sacrificed itself to protect your dad.
As was stated earlier, you can get another vehicle.

But, you can't replace people!

hes alive, bout the extent of good. hes home really hurting but it could have been alot worse.

i'm just in shock and trying to wrap my mind around this whole thing.

i cant explain that feeling when you get a call your dad is being transported by ambulance and not knowing the status of there injury's. that was the worse drive to the hospital i've ever had.

he has more injurys then the news said but this was found after the story was put together.

news report of the wreck with my truck - YouTube










yes, thats my dads hair..a larage clump in the sunroof.
