He was just 17. My oldest son.
He was driving too fast on a back country road, and maybe texting. He lost control and jumped a ditch, roof first into a tree. And that was it. I'm now just a father of three, not four. I'm so sad. I never wanted to make a post like this, just had to get this off my chest a little. ETA: news has the story. http://www.heraldonline.com/news/local/article111997372.html |

Holy shit man. Sorry.
A daily fear I have of my kids now they are all grown and on their own. I have 4 as well and that increases the chances of experiencing something like this. I don't do that "you and yours" robotic saying everyone does but man I am sorry this happened to you. |
I plan to live forever. Or die trying.

That is absolutely terrible! I'm sorry OP. There is no consolation I can give other than you really will be in my prayers.
Rely on every one around you to help you when you need it. Be strong for your family and allow others to be strong for you. |
