Not for nothing and I get the sentiment and Rich has said the same, but not everyone "lucks out" the way Rich has.  His wife has so far beaten the odds and nobody in his family was injured yesterday, not sure how much better it can get for him considering the circumstances, especially when kids have lost limbs, a life and parents yesterday.

 

Edit: And please don't misunderstand me on the "lucks out" part I just couldn't fine any other words at this point.  Rich is by all accounts a great guy that has gone though some serious shit the last few weeks but to say he deserves better when he can still hug his wife and kids at night kind of misses the mark for me.

 

You don't have to lose a leg or a loved one for this to have been traumatic.  I know he keeps it together pretty well on the radio, but this is twice now in the past few months where he has come very close to losing part or all of his family.  I mean, he was with one kid at the blast site minutes before and was planning on going out with the other one minutes later.  He's got to feel completely vulnerable and exposed right now.

 

Not to mention that he has to worry about his kids dealing with a trip through a bloody warzone yesterday and how that's going to affect them, in addition to his wife's frailty.

 

He may not be the only one who deserves better, but he certainly does deserve better.

Man, that was very tough to listen to. Extremely touching, thoughtful, and poignant comments from him.

I cross-posted that to the other thread - thanks drtooth. It was a very tough listen, as T4P says.

Listened to this yesterday. Really touching and thought provoking. I have 2 small children like him, and what do you say to them when you walk into a lobby filled with blown up people and blood splattered everywhere?
