To my secret family.

[chazwood]

I say you are my secret family because although I have written a bit on here, I usually just lurk every day and  keep tabs on all you crazy people. (.....like I have any room to talk )

I would like to share this with you.

On Halloween night at 7:15, my wife and daughter were involved in a head-on collision. My wife was going 55mph and the other car was doing about 35mph. (he grazed a few cars before hitting my wife and child, and that slowed him down) He was in my wife's lane.

The other car was driven by a man with open alcohol containers in the car.... I have yet to learn of his condition officially but I suspect he was drunk by the way he was driving. I will know soon enough. He was fine.

As you can imagine, both cars were totaled.

You are probably wondering about my wife and girl and this is what I want to share. My wife and girl walked away from this accident without a single place on either one of them that you justify putting a band-aid on. Not a single scratch that drew blood. Sure, the airbag knocked her for a loop and the seat belts bruised her chest and hip a little and my wife got a bruise on her elbow and the hospital took all weekend deciding they were fine.......but instead of planning their funerals I am hugging their necks.

If you came to me with the "top ten most convincing arguments that God does not exist" ...........I will show you two reasons why I think he does.

My wife and child.

Alive and well.

Rejoice with me,
Even if I have never met you, I will hug your neck and lift your spirits with the joy in my heart.
Chaz Kempter and family.

Glad the family is OK. That had the potential to be horrific. I hate driving on holidays, way too many drunks out there. Give them a hug and tell them you love them every chance you get....they are gifts.

Chaz,

From the deepest part of our heart, both Hyeyong and I are glad that your family is alright this night.

Wow, what a terrible thing to happen but with a great ending. Glad everyone is OK!

I also hate driving during this crazy time of year, lots of party people on the road that shouldn't be.

Hugs to everyone from Becky and Paul.

You're a lucky man!

Yay for seatbelts and airbags too! Nice to hear that they work.

[NJT5047]

That sort of news will surely stress your soul!  Great to hear all is well!     
As Nusa sez, airbags and seatbelts are modern marvels!   
BTW, Chazwood, you take in a couple bus rallys and there won't be any secrets!  I'll guaruntee! 
Best, JR
