I appreciate that you serve as a Teacher, I have to assume you have patience, or should have. I have a 16 year old, good kid so I am lucky. This past summer he was involved in a car accident with 3 other boys, the car hydroplaned and hit a fence. The metal pole gate entered the car and the driver got a 3 inch pole to the head, dead instantly. Another pole hit my son in the mouth, totally trashed his upper and lower jaw and took out 12 teeth.
Getting that call at 1:30 a.m and being woke up with Andy one of the boys in the car, telling me my son is in a bad way and hearing the ambulances in the background, my worst experience in life that night, BUT even with my son in ICU, I thought that I was VERY LUCKY MAN.
How do you want to look at things?, sometimes life has a way of making you think how lucky you are and it has nothing to do with $$$$$$.
