some damn good real genuine people here
I mean that from the bottom of my heart
the story will not come tonight.. I am going to chew on it for a bit longer..
I have been extremely careful to play 100 percent by the rules, and be 100 percent as honest as I could be
I am worried if I tell the story, and miss something, or say something wrong .......
paranoid I know.. but I don't want to screw up what I worked so hard for
All I can say

It would probably be best not to say anything on a forum like this since there are as many asshats as there are people who actually care.
That being said, the only thing I would be interested in knowing is if the campground was required to make changes to prevent this happening to another family.

Since you asked whether you should tell the story or not, I guess I will put in my 2 cents. No one sees this and thinks 'money grubbing,' or trying to profit off this situation by taking legal action. I don't know if that is the fear, I am only assuming it is, but no one will ever see it like that. Look up frivolous and this is the opposite, plain and simple. So, I guess I am saying if you have any concern that you need to 'set matters straight,' you don't have to.
My other thought is that I think sharing stories is the most important thing you can do. We are all alone in this world, or at least running through without any notion that there is any relevance to any of it. When we hear stories it gives our lives more breadth, realizing our narratives aren't singular. What happened to your poor family thankfully doesn't have to happen to everyone, but everyone experiences loss, pain and suffering, and most people have to come out of that some way or another. When I hear parts of your story, I think of my son, and then of myself. It's easy to lose your identity as a parent, but at the core, we end every night alone with one persons thoughts, and so it is really important to focus on yourself as a parent. If I was to die before my father, I would really sincerely hope he was able to take the steps to move on. It takes a very full hearted person to do this, Brandun, and I cant think of a better way to say it than 'full hearted.' If I can't live in a world untouched by tragedy such as this, at least I get to live in one where the survivors live and carry on with Grace. Just being here, man, talking to us. It's so inspiring, that after a lifetime of being a smartass, I am left speechless. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for carrying on, even if I only get a glimpse of it.

cutest little kid I've ever seen.
Plz stop posting pics...you're brining a whole 'personal' closeness to your story. It's easier to be on the sidelines and be detached.
I just realized that you are a far stronger man than I am. I could never deal with this situation. Don't know how you did/do it. I hope you and your family find some peace. (to quote Murron) Truly.

since I am opening on this, I want to take it a step further
August of 08 we were done with kids .. I wanted another one, the wife didn't. I accepted it, and moved on. Donna was on the pill.. we were done
"accident" happened. let me tell you there sure was NO hanky panky going on.. for months and months and months.. actually think it was over a year.. well all but one day.
Kait's birthday was in October. We had a memorial service for her that day. well, long story short, that afternoon when we got home we "fell" into each other.. that is really
the best way to put it .. we fell into each other.. it was actually beautiful
9 months and 2 days later we were blessed
that's my son who survived the accident because of nothing short of a miracle
it might be coincidence, but then again, it might not
I say that because there are plenty of families that lost children. I know this I know I'm nothing special when it comes to this
she is going to be 3 this summer, and is nothing short of a blessing...
and some of you may know we were blessed with a little boy a couple of months ago
What did you name her?

Today is my sons 3rd birthday. I was 41 by the time i had a kid. I never planned on having any. Now, i cant imagine my life without him. If something like what you went through happened to me, i think i would be crushed forever. I cant imagine such pain and sorrow.

however, I took it as a victory.... I don't know if I'm kidding myself or not
I don't say this to be mean; you're a really nice guy and I wish the best for you and your family. It is for that reason that I say:
You didn't win. Nothing as paltry as money will bring her back or give you peace. I'm glad that your family is 'taken care of' financially, but now you need to focus on making sure they're taken care of emotionally, which is the important part.
Do your best, man  Random internet douchebags are pulling for you.

Well if people want a story I can provide one...
I found out a good friend of mine that I used to know online in WoW recently died. He had MD(muscular dystrophy). He was still able to live on his own but he was found by police in a grocery store parking lot. The crappy thing is, since he was handicapped his parents had bought him the on-star system for his car should he ever need help. He also had a cell phone through AT&T. When his parents realized that he was "missing" they contacted both On Star and AT&T to try and get help. Both companies failed to locate him and they kept stonewalling his parents saying that he must be in a "dead" zone for their signal. After my friend's body was found they tried to get answers from the two companies. Onstar kept up their story that they werent able to locate his car but apparently AT&T finally admitted that they didnt even try. Some people might think negligence is a joke but the information you dont provide to people can be just as deadly as you putting a gun to that person's head and pulling the trigger.
(Also Im not trying to one-up Brandun either. My friend was one of the dearest Ive ever met online although we never met irl I still feel like we really knew each other and we were probably closer than most of my rl friends but I still dont think that compares to the loss of a child. Im just sharing a story to get it off my chest.)

There is a reason that wrongful death lawsuits exist. It doesn't bring anyone back obviously, the point is to hold negligent parties responsible for their actions.
