We've talked about this.
You have a lot in common with "The acronyms" and your stepdad. Talk to them. And talk to me.
I know you're all worked up. And hook a brother up for crying out fucking loud.
don't hate me. im just the messenger. you just need a backrub.
The first run? A SIDS baby - broke my heart. I was sick to my stomach for 3 days.
The last run? A 4 month old baby ejected from a pickup truck about 80 feet, still strapped in his little car seat, with the back of his skull missing.
Those two runs were almost exactly 17 years apart.
A lot of miles, and a lot of "firsts" in 17 years.
I recently told a new recruit "and that's where a dude beat his wife with his prothestic leg..."
YEA.
