Sorry to hear about your tough luck, but, very glad you are still alive and virtually unscathed. These things, terrible as they may seem, can have a woderful final effect of truly cherishing the ones we love. Hug that family and let them know how much you care. Truth be known, we cannot guarantee the length of any of our lives. What is important is how we live the days the good Lord gives us. Just in case you (or others) think I am just blowing smoke, I was crushed in between 2 semis about 4 months ago. Absolutley demolished my pickup right in the middle of a tornado. I can still see my hood buckling, hear the sounds of glass shattering, and feel the rain coming through the windows. By Grace alone, I was not injured, but was extremely glad to see my loving wife and daughter when they came to pick me up. Set my daughter up into the pickup on the wrecker and showed her how all of the truck was crunched but where her daddy was sitting. Told her never doubt there is a God. I have no doubts myself (and not just due to that one instance). If you want to talk, feel free to contact me off list, or call me collect @ 918.724.0407 Hang tough, Dust A14 "Rhino" Man with BIG Grin
