A reefing community member needs us...

[Ruben's Reef]

Sorry for your loss Chris. I was in shock when I heard what's happens. As a father of two who I'm, I can see what are you going thru, and I can't even imagine been in your situation. I pray to God to give you the strength and comfort that you need at this time. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

man so i've been with em all weekend at macna working the booth and i left separated from them in going to dallas but i was supposed to go with them to houston but man chris and sam have had the worst of worst luck.... i tried to tell them that the hurricane took a uturn and and is headed straight for them but they still tried to tough it out and drive to houston.. they got there and wasn't able to access the roads to get to the house... so they drove to dallas and rebagged the corals and i thought they were going to hang out up here for a day or 2 but nope they left first thing in the morning back down to houston and debris hit the sprinter van shattering the driver side rear window... they are in houston now and the warehouse is a little flooded.. they are at the mercedes dealership to get the window fixed and drive back up... but the memorial service was supposed to be monday.. now since the second hurricane irma is tbd... we have no idea when his son's funeral will be.. but please pray for chris and sam... good ppls and definitely don't deserve this!! they have been having a tremendous streak of bad luck... so now they are flood victims as well =( i'll find out more when i talk to him this evening... he's bringing me a rodi unit in dallas.. but pray for something good to happen his way... i feel so bad for him going thru all this ****.. not cool at all...

It has taken some time for me to come to this thread. I knew about this thread but waited until I could sit down and read all the comments at one sitting. I cannot express how grateful my wife and I are to everyone that commented or left a comment. My wife and I try to be serving people and just help out other people as much as possible. I never would have imagined the outpouring of support that this community has had and continues to have for us. People that know us personally knew us for our dogs and my wanting a large family. I am committed to my wife to push on through life with her by my side and continue to try and build a family together. We have sought out support from a professional and also support groups that are local to Houston. I just want to thank everyone for everything that they have done and continue to do for us. My wife and I like staying in the shadows and not causing any extra attention to us and just be normal people.

I cannot begin to show my thanks for all the love, support and help we have received from the reefing community. I wish I could give everyone a hug. All that I have asked for other people to do is hug their children for me and for them and tell them how much you love them. My wife and I live day to day right now waking up and trying to make the best day we possibly can out of it.

I know where our son is and there have been lots of forgiving going on with the other parties involved.
