“Why is a chaplain here?’ She just rolled off the bed. Then when I saw the first doctor before I was able to see Kayla, she said, ‘If she survives,’ and I didn’t hear anything after that.”

That one minute…
“It’s happened four times for me now. It’s been a long time, when I woke up in that morning going, “I have to get the kids up from school.” Oh…she’s not there. That’s only happened four times but you know what, as bad as the realization is, that one minute that she’s still there is priceless.”

“What if I would have done this? Then they would still be alive today.”
