Flight 522 Down

It is a sad day for the 121 passengers and flight crew on the Helios flight from Cypress to Greece today. Online I saw images of the airplane tail and mothers crying for their lost loved ones, one mother wasn't sure if her son, a pilot, was on that flight as she cried in agony from the uncertainty. It broke my heart. I went to the gym later today and the TVs were blaring the news - no survivors - my eyes filled with tears at the thought of the anguish the families must be feeling for the lives lost, a bittersweet reminder how precious life is. The text message sent from one passenger to his cousin seconds before the crash hauntingly stated that the pilot was unconscious and that he and the other passengers were frozen. Let the angels warm their hands and carry their souls up to the heavenly skies. Peace. Amen.
