I'm so very sorry to hear that. Sometimes it's just good to talk to somebody. Even if it's a bunch of "internet" buddies you never met.

We talk trucks here. But me personally I see this forum as a bunch of good people who are more than just "truck" friends. I do express my condolences sincerely and say talk all you want. Talking is often the beginning of working towards healing.

Thank you for letting us know so we can share in your loss. I am not saying I know what you are going through because I don't! I pray to God every night that he keeps my only son safe. He is 19. I don;t know what my wife and I would do... nothing is for certain, we live day to day. We must pray for guidance and strength.

stay involved with us here at FTE when you can... We will try to help from cyber space...

Tin, I'm am so sorry to hear about this. I wish there is something I could say to make it better but I wouldn't know where to start. I can't imagine what it would be like if I lost my lil-buddy. It took my wife and I 18 years to have my son and I would be one of those guys that goes nuts and starts doing stupid **** if something ever happened to him. The only thing I can think of is when it gets bad just look back on all the fun and good times you guys had together and that should put a smile on your face and give you happy thoughts...

So sorry for your loss. Death sucks. I lost my wife 6 years ago and I miss her every day.
If you PM me your email address I'd like to send you something.

Blessings,
