The article was supposed to say the only "adult" survivor.I am the very close friend shown in the video with Gaspar. I would like to thank everyone who has kept the whole family in your prayers. Gaspar is a true fighter. He will be undergoing another surgery soon. It was mentioned in the article but not live that I have set up an account an Associated bank for Gaspar. Anyone who would like to donate can do so at any Associated bank. All donations would be greatly appreciated. God Bless.

He wouldn't be the lone survivor. The little girl survived, too.

SarahB- I agree.. Survivor`s guilt must be a terrible thing. However, he survived for a reason-if not by even just luck. He needs to figure out how to be at peace- learn how to live, not die.
