Had to take my Son to DIA Saturday so he can have Christmas with his mother. Got him to his plane and left, was getting back on the highway when I saw the explosion. A plane went off the runway and burst into flames.
Talk about Freaking out. I made it back in record time... Didn't think my truck would go over 100. After 15 minutes of thinking the worse, He's safe, it wasn't his plane. It was the Plane right in front of him on the same runway. He is now in Phoenix with his mother.
That whole ordeal is a Feeling I would never wish upon my worst enemy. Thank God no one was hurt bad in the wreck. . It was a true Christmas Miracle

Merry Christmas

I can only imagine your terror and fear. Glad for you all that your son is okay. Give him an extra hug when he arrives back home.

Miracles are built into our DNA...in a way, we can all expect to be involved in it one way or another. You just need to believe.
Merry Christmas..Happy New Year, forever.

Things like that really make you reflect and take inventory. I'm happy to be hearing good news about it though, there's enough bad news these days. Be thankful, William, as I'm positive you are. It's just that when things like this hit us, it's a reminder to be more thankful.
