Last night was a great New Years celebration with my wife and kids safe at home with fireworks around the world on TV. Soon after mid night we go to bed. At around 230 am my phone rang with the worse news that has crushed my wife and inlaws. My little brother inlaw was in a terrible motor cycle crash. Right after they gave us that news my inlaws hit us with the news, that they are being evicted off the land they have lived on for the past 25 years due to the new owners want to put new houses up which they can not afford. They had all their belongings packed and was going to not tell anyone until they found a new home. They live in Tampa and we all live here in walton county ( me, my wife, kids and my brother inlaw). Now they are headed to my home and will most likely have to bring my brother inlaw home with us as well in a few weeks after he gets out of the hospital. Back to him, he was in a terrible motorcycle accident around 830 pm. He hit another vehicle at a high rate of speed. His entire right side of his body is broken. His fever is broken, all ribs on right side, lungs are heavily bruised, a couple ribs on his left side is are broken, his clavicle is broken and had the arteries to his right arm pinched (added stints to open it back up) broken forearm, broken wrist and hand. He just came out of surgery after 8.5 hours. They had to put rods, plates, screws and pins in basically the entire right side of his body. Mom and dad are on their way from Tampa to be with him. They are 66 years old and broken. Please pray for our family. He is only 23 years old. I brought him here with us at 16 and taught him my trade of work. He is a hard working young man that just started his life a few short years ago. He works hard every day. All he has is his parents me and my wife and kids. He is very loved by 6 neices and nephews. Both me and my wife will most likely have to miss alot of work and and dedicate alot of our time to help him through his long road of recovery. It's extremely hard to see my wife and family be so heart broken during this. We are expected to be in icu for the next several days and a hospital stay of a minimum 3 weeks. All the prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks gcgf community
