This is the time of the year where I get very sad. You see, one year ago tonight (it was Xmas eve) last year on a Friday my dear son Jeff who worked in Louisiana was on his way home for Christmas. It was a wet rainy night and since he had been drinking, he did the responsible thing and let his girlfriend drive. At 4:22 PM she lost control (hydroplane) on TX Hwy 31 in Tyler, Texas. She was wearing a seat belt and he was not.

It was a very minor accident that anyone should have walked away from. (His girlfriend did) His truck, a 2009 F250 Ford laid over on it's side. He was ejected through the passenger window.

We buried my dear son Jeff on Dec 29 2010.

This is a message that we have all heard...SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES!!

Sorry for your loss
My worst fear is losing one of my kids

Just hug them and tell them every chance you get how much you love them. It's a pain that is undescribable. I can assure you my friend, there are no sure things in this life. Never take one single day for granted. Your life can change forever with one phone call.

I know God has a plan, and we will all meet again someday. But until then enjoy everyday we a given on this earth.

My sympathies on your tragic loss. There is nothing sadder than attending a funeral for someone who is gone so many years ahead of their time.
