Fire victim

[prostreetC-10]

I believe that you are being tested right now and you will overcome. I just can't imagine so I'm not even going to try. My parents house burned to the ground back in '90 and they have since made a full recovery but it wasn't easy. They got to a point where they realized that it was just "stuff". They had each other and that's all that mattered (us kids had moved out).

Boy I tell ya....sometimes this is a really good time for the rest of us to take a good hard look at what and more importantly who is around us. Many of us have it so good that we don't even know it. It makes me think of the last time I got mad at my little boy for picking up a tool or carburetor and I snapped at him. For What? He is my world and I let little things get me irritated. Let's give this man our blessings and go hug the ones we love when we get a chance!

Sorry to hear about the fire. Do you need clothes, food or anything like that? I'm about 3 hours away from you, and my wife has family around there. Let me know and I'll try my best to get you things you need.

Unimaginable... material things can be replaced but I cannot imagine the feeling when everything is lost including photos and other memories. I see the devastation every day in the news over here in Texas.

I was going to add that stripping some of the usable sheet metal might help you in a future rebuild but the cost in cleaning and rust removal may be more than it's worth. Plus you have a lot of other worries now, I'm sure.

Good luck to you and family.

If at a later time you decide to find another truck I would be glad to make a small cash donation toward your purchase or try to help with parts.

As everyone has stated on here thus far, Thank the Good Lord you and your son are ok. That is THE most important thing in all of this. I have no clue what you are going through, I wish you all the best in your recovery from this disaster... Anything I can do to help, let me know!

Glad that you're okay. Everything else is secondary.

We are doing fine, living at an extended stay hotel waiting on the insurance co. to see where we stand. I don't think that we will rebuild the house at this point. We are not tied down to this place so we shall see how things go. As far as stuff goes we got some emergency funds from the ins. co. so we got the essentials and we are set until this all gets resolved. I think that I am just going to have the pickup hauled away and move on. Thank you again for all the support and prayers. Dan

See......we got you to post again!!! You just can't leave the 67-72 board!!!! lol

I was glad to see the word "insurance" in your post. So many people don't want to pay for it because they don't think it will happen to them. Heck....just one little positive is that someone gets to make your bed each day!!!! ;o)

As your son stated it's a chance to start out fresh. I hate you lost everything but you have each other and after hearing how your son is handling it I'd say you have a really good future ahead of your self. Good luck and stay in touch. Things always work out sooner or later.

First and foremost, glad you two are okay.


Secondly, I'd get to cleaning up body panels, looks solid to me.

Then again, I'm always up for a challenge, it's awesome being able to hold up a picture of something that looked like that, then pointing to it and tellin someone, "Yeah, I got it to where it is today."
