Often I am at a loss for words
I woke up yesterday and came downstairs to the computer to read the news of the crash in Kentucky. I thought, "how sad for the people who knew and loved them" and I gave another few seconds thought about how nervous I am on planes during takeoff, and how I have a flight coming up soon. I briefly read the story and moved on to the next headline. The rest of the day was busy with everyday life stuff and I didn't think about the crash again.
Last night, my friend Bridgette messaged me that she had just earlier in the evening found out that several of her co-workers from her previous company were on that plane. We talked briefly, she was trying to deal with the news, going through pictures, trying to find a way to make sense of what happened. I honestly didn't know what to say to take away any of the pain, and intellectually I know that isn't possible, I guess you can only share it, be a shoulder to cry on or be there if she wanted to talk about it. She has written a little on the subject here: http://livefromthewangofamerica.blogspot.com/
I hope you know, Bridgette, how sorry I am for your loss. As much as I can do for you, I am here always.
I hope you don't mind Bridgette:
Bobby, I wish I had known you. You will be missed by so many whose lives you touched.
