Today is my niece's first birthday. But no one is really giving much thought to little Kira today.
Last night, on Feb. 22, a single engine plane carrying 4 prominant Stafford citizens attempted to make a landing at Stafford Regional Airport. The plane never arrived. It was located this morning. There were no survivors.
I am so numb. My head hurts from crying so much. I found out at the courthouse today that Buck, my mom's partner and law, and a family friend for nearly 2 decades, was on the plane. I wailed, I have never cried so hard or loudly in my life. I couldn't walk or anything. My knees felt like mush. I don't know how its possible for your body to feel like mush in a moment, but it can. Its just uncomprehensible that he's dead. He's been part of my life for just about my whole life. He's been there at just about every milestone.
He has a family, he has a law practice, he has everything one could want. How can he be dead? I just can't believe it. It feels real and not real all at the same time.
