Reality Check

[tx10pt]

Dale, sorry to hear and prayers sent for your dad

[Snapper]

Glad they're going to be fine. Scary!

[Marion]

Chris, I've had that phone call myself so I know how you feel. I'm glad everyone is OK and not seriously hurt. It's scary what goes through your mind while you're making that drive to the scene.

[Snakelover]

Chris, glad your daughter and her friend are ok. My son will be driving soon and it has me nervous! Dale, my heart goes out to your dad. Someone in my family had a similar thing happen. That's a hard thing to get past, even when you know there was nothing you could have done differently. Prayers for all involved in these accidents.

Thanks for the words folks...its almost like a dream now and I understand too that this is the game of inches. Every time I have my phone ring when my kids are not here I have some anticipation in hearing their voice....as well as a great relief when they are only asking for money or arguing about curfew.

As far as being strong, there was no other choice....... if there was I may have taken it. Char is as ornery today as ever but....on the way home last night she was talking about everything and then just started to cry saying..."daddy, I thought we were gonna die and I wouldn't see yall again....it was like slow motion.... I don't want to close my eyes and see it again tonight"

Cotton and others I agree....some things there are no other way to learn and thank God it wasn't as expensive ( not $) as it could have been. This is the exact thing I "hate" about being a parent.... I am very strong with most issues in my life and things do not phase me much but this type of thing brings me to a place I need to be more often.....on my knees.

Dale, prayers for your father, those images and experiences are going to be tough for him and I hope he finds his peace soon.

[Crash Co9]

Dang, glad the everybody was OK!! Way to be Spur!!

[bowmansdad]

Glad they're OK, Chris. The Lord was watching over them for sure.

[Shooter]

Spur, nothing worse then having something happen to your child. Glad everyone is OK.

Dale, Prayers sent.

[Roy]

Good God I'm so glad that things weren't worse! I felt a lump in my throat just reading it and silently saying "oh no" until relief that the injuries weren't life threatening. I can appreciate your fears as a dad- now that I'm one as well. Prayers sent bro.

Glad to hear both girls were ok. Somebody was watching over both of them that night. Reading your story gave me flashbacks of a wreck my girlfriend got into last year. She did the samething and called me right after it happened. That was the longest four hour drive of my life.
