Tell Your Kids that You Love Them....
 

Just got back from the scene of a car wreck my son was involved in....By the time I got there I was just in time to see them slide him into the back of the ambulance and haul him to the hospital....

The only reason he couldn't see the tears in my eyes was because I kept my sunglasses on....WOW...too much excitement..A few people were bumped and bruised but it looks as if everyone is going to be OK...

I have a son and daughter and plan on both of them out living me. I'm home with the grandbaby now while his mom and the rest of the family are with him at the hospital and all reports are good.....

It's been a while since I told him I love him....At 17 seems like we do more arguing than getting along and thats fine but after we argue I'm still going to let him know I Love Him.....

Hope he gets well soon!!

Thank God he is ok. As a parent now also, I truly understand what they mean when they say a "parent's worst nightmare."

Being manly and proud should never get in the way of our inner thoughts/feelings and our children. Thanks for the lesson.

Again, I'm glad he's gonna be ok.

im glad he's ok blue... ya'll are in my prayers iffin ya need anything, hollar... i know how to baby sit !!!

Dang blue...glad hes okay!! We lose sight of the little things sometimes in life, but thankfully you can let'm know that you love him!!

glad to hear everyone is ok.......yea its how the old saying goes "you dont know what you got till its gone"

Good luck to your family and your son.

Glad to here he is ok. I will say a prayer for yall.

wow Craig, so sorry to hear about this.

my prayers are with you, your boy, and the family

Glad he is ok. I have a 4 and 1 year old and catch myself fussing them often over things that really are no big deal. I dont realize this until I read about a kid that died or one that has a terminal illness. Things like that really put things in perspective and make the problems in my ordinary life seem pretty petty.

Hi blue
thinking about ya my man, it's gonna be allright, they are tough when they be 17 and it's a good thing ask stix he will tell ya. God's speed to yer family.
Stix

Car accidents scare that you know what out of me now that i have kids. You try to do everything in your power to protect them from harm but some things you have no control over.

I hope your son heals up soon.

Thanks Guys...He just got home and everything is fine....just a few bumps and bruises

give him a hug and make sure u tell him u love him.... wish my dad did that more often... there is a time to grow up, i know. But love never grows old...

prayers

BC,

good to here all is good.

i as well know that sinking feeling, though good now there's nothing like a knock at the door by a cop asking if your the parents of , and telling you that you need to get to the hospital asap

Glad to hear he's fine, Every morning before I leave work I tell my wife and kids that I love them and before they go to bed also.

Glad he's going to be OK!

Having lost a child, I learned two things...one is what you said, hug them every chance you get and don't let petty arguments get in the way. The other is that it CAN happen to you, in the blink of an eye.

Glad to hear everything is ok. I was in a car accident when I was that age, it made me realize just how precious life really is. If nothing else you and your son may get closer than you were before.

Glad to hear the good news! I think my8 year old will sleep with dad tonight while mom is out of town!

Glad all is well bluechip.

glad to hear that he is ok.Never a good feeling to find out that kind of news about one of your kids.

Glad he's OK.Just goes to show you that thigs can happen in an instant.Tell the people you love that you love them cause you never know whats going to happen

Is it not amazing how the human side comes out when something like this happens. Brings each of us affected back to earth real quick. Pushes you to the point, that all the other BS and possessions in your life are nothing, when it comes to hurt or tragedy of a love one.
I hug and tell my two children/wife I love them several times each day.
It is not only if something happens to them but what if something happens to me.

gotta love em and tell em
 

I got that same phone call a few years back that my son had been in volved in a 3 vehicle crash on I-10 between laff. an scott.
cop didn't give me any info except that ambulances had been called and he was being taken to the hospital and hung up.
wife said i looked like i could die when i hung up the phone.
we called a friend in scott and asked him to please go check on our son. ( thanks Mr. dale)
he arrived in time to see that our son was jjust banged up and had a good size knot on his head and called us as i was on the way from B.R.
After all was said and done my son and i sat down to talk . He looked at me and said, pops, you remember when you were teaching me to drive and
you kept trying to make me learn how to drive a half mile ahead. I said yes. he then told me that even though he wasn't thinking about looking ahead he was doing it. he said he saw the accident starting in the left lane ahead of him and knew that it was coming into his lane and he had to move . so he took the shoulder as he braked and then realised that it was still coming so he took the grass b4 he got hit. ended up against the fence along I-10. Then he told me, See pops i was paying attention .
i didn't know wether to hug him or smack him . but i did tell him i love ya and i'm glad you are ok.
Not an easy thing for any parent to go through . All we can do is pray that we've taught them well and Hope they were listening.

Glad all is well... My best wished and prayers go out to your family.

Don't wait for the wreck fellas. At 22, five friends and I had to carry one of our best friends home to rest. The pain I watched his parents go through is something that haunts me as much or more than his passing to this day. I remember his dad asking all of us questions about was he too hard on us(we were all his kids), had he told Clayton he loved him enough, what did Clayton think of him(which was the world)...

Don't leave those doubts in your mind and I pray that I nor any of us ever have to endure the type of torturous pain that his parents suffered.

As I said earlier, thank God he is alright. Go hug his neck and kick his butt!

Boy
 

Glad he's ok.

I'm an older dad at 48 and have two little ones at 3 and 5 and one at 15. I really need to get back in shape so that I can hopefully spend a lot more quality years with them. It's sad thinking that one day they will be out there living on there own and I won't be around to interact with them.

I am really glad your son is ok, I can't imagine losing a child.

I have a 15 year old son that lives with his mom in Lake Charles. We don't talk as much as we should or used to, but I do tell him every time I talk to him and he also tells me, no matter who is around. He plays football and will tell with his kids around. That makes a dad feel good.
Good luck with your son.

Life is WAYYYY to short!!

Glad all is well
 

I know where everyone is coming from. I have a 19 year old son that is going to college in Oklahoma. Everytime he leaves driving back his Mom and I are worried sick. Luckily my daughter lives next door with her Husband and our grandson. I get to see them everyday. My prayers go to everyone raising kids these days.
