whew. It's wednesday, half way done with the week. So, most of you know what happened on Monday with Andy's buddy- but for those who are not in my family, I'll tell you.
Andy climbs cell phone towers- he builds them, wires them, takes them down, etc. Well when you climb you have a harness and you are tied off from the top and around the pole. This guy Daryll had been up on the tower and he didn't tie himself to the pole correctly and the lead came undone and he fell 120ft down to the cement. He was awake, but not talking and barely breathing. Medivac came and told the guys to get a hold of his parents because he wasn't going to make it very much longer. Well, he didn't have his parents number in his emergency contact card at work so everyone was trying frantically to find his parents number. Andy calls home to me and asks me to look them up on the internet! I was like are you kidding me? So I was trying to find anyone with the last name Hunt from St Helen Michigan. I found one person; amazingly that WAS his dad! one of the odds, huh? So I called Andy back and he's been crying and I can just hear everyone's phone going off in the background, and at this time no one knows any details because luckily andy and his crew were on a different job site so they didn't have to see him fall. His funeral in on Sunday and the whole Skyline crew are going up on Friday and spending the weekend with Daryll's parents- kinda weird to me. and his mother is taking this very well. She told everyone that Daryll always said he loved his job and everyone there and she said he died doing what he loved and if anyone needed to just talk to go ahead and call her whenever they needed.
