The Christmas before the plane crash. Look what I bought Pam's husband Keith. I wish I'd known how dangerous it was. I see in the news nearly ever week a small plane crash. I didn't know. I would never have noticed this before. This was his last Christmas.
I posted it on impulse. I wasn't sure if I should post it because it's so disturbing as you felt. Yes he was a nice lad. But he liked to go fast. A friend of his went to see a medium not long after his death at one of those big events. His friend's dad had committed suicide and that's who he was expecting to hear from. He heard from Keith who said to him and I quote, "It's much better where we are than where you are!"
i just got back from a necessarily flight-transported vacation. i hate to fly; luckily i had drugs. but still: so terribly sad, this happy-looking guy. selfish selfish me, i am always so weak-kneed grateful to be alive when i get off those airplanes.... love to you, dear jane.
This blog is about me and my sister Pam who was killed age 43 in a plane crash on July 3rd 2008 along with the instructor Charlie and her husband Keith who was learning to fly. These stories and thoughts keep me close to her, it's her shrine.

That picture sent a shiver down my spine, how ironic and so sad. What a beautiful smile he had, he looked like he embraced life. xxx

ReplyDeleteNo way! That is oddly reassuring, I suppose.
