Not sure if I'll miss the minivan, but you can

Rich,
Sorry to hear about the van.
what matters most is the man.
Glad to hear your injuries are miner.
If your schedule allows, perhaps you and yours could drop by our place for a Guinness during your summer sojourn to The Poconos. We live at the foot of Camelback Mountain. (bring the pipes.... but mayby transport them in a hardshell case.)
....cheers
John & Cin

Rich. Glad to hear your OK, good thing you had that big bad footprint, If you were driving one of those dinky yuppie mobiels we could probably just bury you in your car. My wife go T- boned driving an EVIL Trilblazer, I am convinced the additional mass is all saved her life.

That sucks bro. Glad you're ok. I hope it was the other guy's fault, and make sure you have yourself checked out really good if it is, cause while I don't believe in frivolous lawsuits, the job of the other guy's insurance company is to screw you and give you nothing more than depreciated value of your van (which is always sh*t compared to what you could really sell it for usually) and like a friend of mine, who I warned, but he settled for just the value of the vehicle, he later started waking up with rugular back and neck pain, that he assumed would go away, but it never did. Don't make that mistake.
And this is a good time to warn the kids, that statistically, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who owns a car, will get into an accident at least once in his lifetime, so teach them well, to be careful, and what the power of a moving vehicle can do.
I'll be praying for a speedy recovery for you!
