What a month!!!!!
On July 19, 2006 my father was in a deadly accident. He was driving a terri-gator when a feed truck hit the huge front tire sending my dad flying out of the cab of the terri-gator. At about 9:15ish I got a phone call from my uncle telling me to call my mom RIGHT AWAY. So I did and my mom told me that had been in a really bad accident and I need to get home RIGHT NOW. It was so bad that they were going to Medvac him directly from the accident site to St. Marys in Saginaw, but they couldn't get him stablized so the transported him by ambulance to Carson City Hospitial. They revived him and got him stablized enough to transport him to St. Marys viva medvac.
During all this I am traveling from Ionia (where I was working) to Lansing to pick up my car. Instead my uncle picked me up and we headed to St. Marys. On the way there I was just trying to think positive, because nothing could happen to my Dad. We finally arrived at St. Marys Emergancy room. I walked up to the front desk and asked where I could find my Dad. The nurses directed my uncle, aunt and I to a waiting room. I walk into the waiting room and my heart sank, because everyone in the room was crying. I asked what is going on and my mom said Dad DID NOT MAKE IT......... I can't even begin to tell you what happen from there other then all I could think was that it was not possible!!!!!! He didn't even make it to St. Marys. We went in and said are final goodbyes, prayed, and cried. Then we set off from home. With it all NOT being reality.
The accident happened on Wednesday. Friday was visitation from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Dad was a well respected person who went above and beyond the call of duty. If you don't believe me ask the grown men who cried and the 350 people who showed up on Friday.
Saturday was the funeral. Our family want the service to be a celebration of his life and a witness to all unbelievers. Let me just say my Dad was a great witness while he was alive and in his death. There where over 400 people who attended the service and dinner.
My life has been greatly change forever along with my mom's and brothers. BUT if there is two thing I could stress more then anything in all this is that life is to short and that the little things (like phone your kids when you are waiting on a co-worker) matter more then life it's self.
