I'm sure you already know what I'm gonna type... Sometimes it helps to hear it again.
It does help.
The only reason is; we live in an imperfect place. We cannot see the future and we cannot prevent accidents. There's no one to blame. I'm sure that you, more than most of us, have seen when people are deliberately killed and when accidentally. Unfortunately neither is absolutely preventable.
Actually, yes. I have. Numerous times. And (and I know this might sound bad) but it's pretty easy seeing death when it's not someone you know. I mean, you feel for the person and their families....but you feel 10000000 times more when it's a child or someone you know.
Sure, without a doubt, loss is loss and it always hurts. No answers can stop the hurt, only time. Peace and comfort will come.

May not make you feel better now, but hopefully it may help you see a little better.
Naw, it does. I just feel so bad for sarge and his family. And, as sad as it is...I can't even fathom what they are going through.
Didn't mean to overstep. Just wanted to encourage a little. I have no doubt you would do the same.
No overstepping AT ALL. You did. And...I sure would.


With that, I have no concept of what they are going through. I can't comprehend that much sorrow.

I guess it's true, love your children every day you have them.... You just never know.
exactly.
I'm so very sorry.

If there is a need for a donation to the family, just say the word.

Sincerely,

Chris

Thank you very much for that post.

Holy...that's sad...

When I see him again...I will.

Parents are never meant to bury their own children, and my deepest condolences go out to them in this terrible time.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm very sorry to hear about your cousin. Parents shouldn't have to do that...the thought is just horrible....ugh...

But on this note... I used to be in a group called prop-busters. We'd fly our airplanes all the time out at the field. The coolest part about it was that it was right next to the highway and you could fly over 1604 (the loop) and people in cars would stare...hehe. Some of the cars would stop and watch the planes. That was a hobby I wish I'd never gotten out of. I built an Eagle 2 many years ago...in middle school. The first time I took it up to fly it on my own, the batteries died on take off. I overcharged them one too many times. You know what happens when you overcharge and the batties die.......the servos lock up. The plane went full throttle and hard right. It went right into the safety net completely out of control and crashed. Bye, bye plane.

I'd love to get another. Still have the engine and RC controller/servos. I'm sure I'd buy new, though. No more problems w/ all that!

My sister later had to have a hysterectomy too because of a massive growth, and my wife went out to Oregon to help her through it. I guess I kind of think that was one reason.

I'm sorry about your sister in law. Congrats to your wife, though. That must have been very scary. My wifes dad beat cancer a while back. I just don't know the reasons.
