I have been lurking here for some time and have always enjoyed reading your posts Haz. However, I found it especially interesting that when so many people were telling you that they were praying for you, you graciously thanked them, but asked that their prayers be sent for your partners' wife as well. That shows why you will come out of this situation a survivor, and more than likely, better off than before. Thank you for showing the true meaning of "Grace Under Fire."
On a different note, I have a cousin who is a Pinellas Co. Deputy, and knowing him, it would not surprise me if he was the knucklehead who ventilated your house. So, just in case; sorry about that, and I will give him a nice whack on the back of the head the next time I see him!

The Best to You.
