departure on arrival

Nicely written as always on that terrible plane crash and the helicopter. Very sad indeed.

Very succinctly stated Jacob. And now I'm hearing that another plane has crashed, setting fires to homes in philladelphia. May all their souls rest in peace.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, I am watching coverage of that now. A medivac jet..six people aboard including a child patient...and some people on the ground hurt as well.
this is so God-awful.

' departure on arrival. ' Those three words are difficult to read. So heartbreaking when this happens. Your thoughts caress gently around me.

The names and faces are almost too hard to grasp. The enormity of all the stories unfolding, of lives so short lived with so much promise. It's enough to break your heart, but they deserve to be remembered, for all the good they hoped to bring into this world! Thank you for honoring them, Jacob. They're angels now, among us.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

And now more angels in Philadelphia...
another awful crash.
thank you, Kelly,

Catastrophic event that just gives one pause and then drives home the fact that life is short and comes with no assurance of longevity. Well done my talented friend.
