Today has turned out to be a very tragic day. A dear friend of ours was killed in a plane accident. While H and I have discussed several times by phone (he was out of town at the time), I am giving him his space this afternoon. I had to tell our D16, and I wish he was here. I feel so helpless. I called and told him how helpless I felt. I am pretty certain he would not come home right now, so I did not ask. He is with his friends at the airport. I also asked him to help with whatever efforts the public safety department needed. Because of my position at the airport, I was able to get him to the wreckage, which he appreciated (he did not tell me, but I know he did).

This is 2 fatal accidents in 2 months for people we know. I cannot imagine how this is effecting H right now. I will let him talk and not offer up my opinions or thoughts. And I will try to comfort him the best I can.
