Putting the boats in storage

After burying my brother Friday we came home. While coming home thru Lexington on hwy 1 the traffic was awful. I was on a 4 lane and the traffic was stopped in the left lane so some idiot motioned this woman in the other lane to turn left right in front of us. I tboned her at 30 mph and it deployed all the air bags. Wife had no time to react and was hurt by the seat belt. She went to the hospital to be checked out and I got some road rash on my left arm from the air bags. I was told they would probably total the car so now I have to start looking for another car. I think I will quit fishing until I recover from my next knee surgery. My heart is just not into fishing right now. Wife is sore but thankfully no internal bleeding and I am okay. Don

Man, I'm so sorry to hear about the string of tough challenges that you've been faced with lately. They, however, are all challenges that will be overcome just like you've overcome many other challenges that you've been faced with throughout life. Sometimes a body needs to take a break from everything and just chill a while. We will all keep you and the Mrs. in our prayers... and always remember you have a lot of friends... if and whenever you might need to vent or just talk about any of it.

Prayers lifted up. Sorry about losing your brother. Hope you and the wife get over the wreck

Sorry for your loss
Prayers for your family

May the Lord comfort and heal you and your family.
Praying for y'all.
If I could suggest one thing, it would be surround yourself with believers.
Fellowship with God's people. Take it from one who has lived in deep darkness before.
God works through His people. Blessings!!

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. I am a believer and I have put my faith in Jesus. I will get thru it and will be okay it will just take time.

Don, at 73 I have learned that God and time are great healers. And, I have discovered that great strength comes out of great adversity. One day, God will use you to help someone else who is walking where you have already walked. My prayers will continue to be with you brother. Keep us informed.

Watching my brother take his last breath sure makes you realise just how fragile life is. I am selling both my boat and down sizing to one boat that will be easy for wide to get rid of when it is my time to join him in heaven. Thanks again

It is a truth, life is like a vapor. As a pastor I have stood by many bedsides where, both young and old, were making that transition. It was always easier knowing the person was a Christian. As a dear friend once said, "You haven't lost someone when you know where they are." Due heart problems and having learned how quickly things can happen, I have already told my wife what to do with my Tracker PT175 in case of my death. It was a gift to me and it will be a gift to a friend (and a pastor) and his young son who have fished and hunted with me. I know they will enjoy it as much as I have when that time comes. None of my family, other than me and my wife, like to fish. I went wrong somewhere!!

May God's healing be swift for you.

Glad you are both ok.
Hate to hear y'all had issues and my deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your brother. Prayers.
