Hey everyone, I didn't really know how to start this and really didn't have the time to start saying thank you until now… These past few weeks have been the best and worst of my life.. even tho I'm only 19. You might thing of why i said best, ill explain. As we all know by now yes my house burnt down, completely nothing left except the clothes we had on our backs and the stuff we had in our pockets. My dad was home during the fire and so was my 3 dogs, 1 snake, sadly my dad only had time to grab one dog. We lost 2 dogs and my pet snake. It brings me to tears even as i write this message to everyone from DDO, when i say that everyone has come together for my family, People i don't even know… That is why i say that these past weeks have been the best and worst. The worst because i lost so much in the fire, but i have found so many new and old friends. The love is overwhelming. And with out that i don't know how myself or my family could get through this difficult time. So i say thank you to everyone from my family and from the bottom of my heart. So this Saturday is coming up fast!!!! :) cant wait to hang with you all and have a great afternoon. but i realized i have no jeep anymore, not because of the fire but because i sold her. About not even a week before the fire had happened. To tell you the truth i had my heart set on getting another jeep and continuing my off-road adventures with everyone in DDO:) a great family to be apart of. But in light of our problems and our money crunch at the time. So i bought a dd a car… yes i know people can give me crap but don't worry. A jeep is on the way. Since now the practical thing to have is not a 92 jeep wrangler that gets 7mpg since we also did lose most of our cars my dads work truck in the fire… I resorted to getting something that i can drive and not watch the gas gage go down… But my project 4x4 will start this winter after my family gets some insurance money and we can get back on our feet again. Now down to the sad part. I will be and my brother will be the only one attending the 28th run. and even more so i have to leave at noon… Which brings me to my next question anyone have room for 2 bodies so i can ride along with someone. Don't have 4wd… lol or tow points. Thanks again DDO for being there for me and my family even though i have only known everyone for a few months. Thanks again from my dad who i worry about the most and who needs some kind of hope. And thanks in general for all the love and support from everyone in DDO and from everyone that i don't even know who is coming out to this event. Oh and thanks to all the hard work that everyone has put into this event. I know this kind of stuff just doesn't happen over night. Hopefully ill see the whole parking lot full at the cliffs apparently this is going to be a big event. :) see you all on Saturday thanks again from the Braithwaite family.
