I’m starting off saying I’m sorry for not blogging more during the month of Febuary. It was a very rough month but it’s over and it was beautiful-in a it’s own way. Here’s the summery, It was the first anniversary of the Continental Flight 307 Plane Crash. Some days it feels like yesterday- sometimes it eels like it was years ago. It was an emotional week, remembering where I was, what I was doing before, during and after the crash. Remembering the the phone calls, texts, flights up, grief counslers, walking through Newark airport recalling how it was the last building these people were ever in. Crying through the airports as security guards carried my bags and led me throw as people starred, the looks the ticket people gave me, talking to the NYC grief counseler for hours as they held the plane so I could be the last one on and have enough time to regain myself, the small plane they stuck me on from Newark to Buffalo & how all I could do was trust God as the song Give Me Your Eyes pumped through my headphones. Seeing us pass transit and breathing a sigh of relief. Staying at Dennys until midnight talking to yet another Continental Grief counseler and the taxi ride home to a quiet house. Feeling so alone. The next few days full of watching FBI and foransics suvs pass by, trucks carrying pieces of the plane & dirt and gravel. The visiting hours, Laura’s hug, John & Marilyn’s eyes, seeing Elly’s face over and over in slide shows as years of memories flood my mind. Crying for days… Those were hard days and while I’m glad they are over God taught me so much. HE IS STILL HERE right beside me. This year Elly’s dad, John, planned a walk from the crash site to the airport. It was his way of leading his daughter home- where she should have landed. The walk went from being just him to being hundreds. As I walked those 10 miles with some of my family and John and Marilyn and so many- it was such a healing process. It was incredible. It was God sealing up a hole in my heart. Giveing me His peace and saying to me- it’s time to move on. Don’t cling to the past & sadness, look to the futures joy & beauty. It’s God saying, IT’S TIME FOR THE WORLD RACE! So everyone, with only $9,000 more to raise, on JULY 1. We, yes we, we are a team!
