      I wasn't aware anyone had stolen from us Susan. The van was in such a mess, Pats purse could have been anywhere.
      We just don't know how our lives will pan out in the future, whether we get another van, or just keep finding deals and doing it that way Susan. Tracey doesn't mind what we do as long as we are happy.

    Looking at the photos of the van and seeing you both walking and talking makes me believe in miracles once more. I had a miracle too. I was 32 and a mother of four. I worked 3-11PM as a nurse. I was driving home and a drunk driver sped through a red light. I saw him for just enough time to slam on my brakes. I hit him and the front of my station wagon looked like your van. The force of the collision knocked down a power line. I was in shock too. But I remember that it was as if an angel had its arms around me and held me tightly against the seat. This was before seat belts! In 1971. I remember getting out of the car and walking across the power line in the street to the horror of the people who had rushed out of their homes when they heard the crash. My only injury was a scrape on my knee from the keys in the ignition and sore arms from my tight grip on the steering wheel. I am 85 this year. I now have 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. I thank God each morning for the gift of another day. I thank you both for reminding me of miracles❤Sylvia

You continue in my prayers for your return to full health. I cannot imagine the shock you felt seeing your home in such a wreck. Please pace yourself and listen to the doctor, and especially to Tracy and Pat. Your Guardian Angels were working overtime. I'm so glad you're both okay. Sending love from Canada.

    Very upsetting seeing your van in that state, that was even worse than I imagined it would be. How you both got out so unscathed is amazing. At least you've managed to get some stuff out, but what carnage. Tracey is such a help, she just rolls up her sleeves and cracks on. It is very sad and traumatic Trevor, but you are all OK and you have a wonderful family.
