About 10:30 last night a State Trooper came to our house. I didn't get much info then and today I got info that I wish I hadn't. My 23 year old Stepson was killed in an wreck while texting. It almost cost another man his life. Being the stepdad, I was the worlds greatest a$$hole for most of his life. The last few years I noticed that he was becoming more of a man, and he noticed maybe I wasn't so bad after all. In all the ads I've seen about texting and driving, they never show the stepdad having to get the possessions from the car or tell how to avoid the Mother's questions about what the car looked like. I wish I didn't know the things I learned today, and I wish I knew how to keep anyone else from learning them too. I hope that maybe by writing this I can keep someone from being in the same position. Thanks

Randy I cannot fathom what you are going through or are feeling. I can only hope that time will heal your wife's and your heartache. This will stick with me when I see my stepson in the morning. Thank you for your painful sharing, I think it will initiate a lot of conversations in the coming days.
 
Randy more prayers from me and my family. Working in the ER for the last 16 years now I have had the unfortunate experience of being on the informing the family side. It is not easy on this side when we work so hard to save one so young, and loose. Nurses cry on the inside more than the out.

Mike: Give my grandson a couple words for me too please.

Randy: Please accept our condolences. I know the pain is deep and words can not suffice
 
As someone that is behind the wheel for my 'real job' about 300 miles a day, I see texting all the time-and not from just the younger people. Even with laws in place to keep people from doing it.....I dunno?

Sorry for your loss.
