I'm ready for what tomorrow brings

[Razorback]

Tomorrow we expect 8/30 scheduling. Many think it's just FE's and a few soft tops. Based on "forum" chatter that's probably the case. I'm prepared, but will still hope a good number of non-FE 2 doors get selected. While it will be the Bronco I eventually drive, it's not my Bronco. That honor belongs to Connor my son.

This Bronco was reserved a month to the day after he took his life last year. (Only the second time I've actually been able to say that) He had so many dreams. One of those was the new Bronco for him and his Great Dane "Brienne". He was 21 and I just thought a MY21 Bronco would always be special. Upon confirming the order we always thought it might come on the anniversary of his passing or even his birthday 8/6. (yep just a few days ago) But even a MY22 will be just as special. Having reserved his Bronco, 7 hours after reservations opened, I always thought we were good...but tomorrow we will know if there's a chance or not for MY21. I'm ready for what tomorrow brings, even if it's disappointment.

Anyway, which ever way it goes, I've got my pineapple pizza and Chaco's stickers ready to go on it when ever it rolls off the truck. Thank you Ford for allowing me a way to honor and remember him on the streets and on the trails. Thank you B6G for a way to remember him and keep my mind busy during the hardest year of my life. And thank you to everyone reading this for putting up with a dad that just misses his son.

Thank you for sharing this. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and never apologize for showing how much you care. What a beautiful way to honor your son.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I hope when you do get his Bronco, it makes you smile and know that he’s there with you.

Have Brienne ride shotgun on your first drive...

Honor and respect. No matter how long the wait, it will be special to you and the memory of your son.

I hope we get a chance to meet. I am up in McKinney and would love to hear more about your son's life. I am hosting a Bronco meet-up August 28th, 7:30 pm at the Frisco Rail Yards. Would love to buy you a beer and catch-up.

Much love! The bronco has a very emotional pull for some of us. For me it’s the ties that bind me to my pops.. for you it’s your son!
I hope you get that email that provides you with some emotional relief!

I'm a 2dr base who got pushed to 9/20. My first date would have been 8/16

So beautifully written, and I am so sorry for your loss. I ordered my Bronco in honor of my eldest brother, Gary aka "Tuffy". He owned several and was so looking forward to the 6g release, but sadly passed a year before the big reveal. My "Tuffy" was built on your son Connor's birthday, August 6. So here's to Connor and Gary.

We all have our own personal reasons for wanting this unicorn. Mine is my 6 year old little buddy, Max. He’s high functioning, mostly non verbal Autistic. At this point in life, mom and I are fairly certain he will never fully function on his own and will never be capable of leaving home. When he was born, I thought of all the special moments a dad does. Watching and helping him play sports, build cars and trucks, and watching him enjoy life with friends. While most of those thoughts disappeared with his diagnosis, one great thing has bloomed in our relationship: this kid LOVES to go wheeling. We can take off sun up to sun down, through sun, rain, sleet or snow. This kid absolutely digs it. I grew up in the back seat of a Bronco. My first wheels were a Bronco. This is one thing I can give to my boy that I know he understands.
I’m not telling this for anyone to feel bad or anything like that, just to point out that everyone has a story or a reason.

I cannot even begin to imagine the road you’ve been down. I’m sure there’s several things about the situation that you have trouble saying out loud. Just remember that when the day finally arrives (and contrary to the outlook of the current Ford fiasco, it will eventually arrive), you’ll never be wheeling alone.

I wouldn’t give my spot up for anything. Or so I thought until just now. If I had any control over it, I’d give up my spot in line for you and Connor.
Stay strong and stay wild.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope you get his Bronco asap.

Damn man, killin me here.

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss, that’s tragic. God bless you and your family, nobody should have to go through a loss in this way. I’m praying you can find peace sooner then later through all the pain. He’s watching you and will be smiling down on you with the Bronco. I lost my mom 9 years ago when I was 26, broke my heart. I learned that the best way for me to deal with the loss was to allow myself the time on birthdays and holidays to reflect back and smile about everything I remember. I also learned it’s good to feel vulnerable sometimes and sometimes you have to just cry over it because you always feel better in the end. Keep your head up.

Trying to hold back the tears. As a father of a 17yo son and a firefighter that has gone through a rash of firefighter suicides lately, my hart goes out to you! It really puts into perspective how unimportant material objects really are! Tomorrow won’t be the end of the line for scheduling MY21 but I really hope it’s your turn!

 

[Kickit]

These are the kind of threads on this forum that truly just fill my heart. Thank you for sharing. Please tell me you are selling these chaccos stickers somewhere for some kind of suicide prevention awareness! I’d buy some and distribute if you plan to! I have all my fingers and toes crossed that you get a MY 21 given the significance for you!
