No Regrets

I have nothing but I thought I would post a quick thought.

Yesterday a family in California will never be the same. I do not know all the details but I just heard that the an F-16 fighter crashed on approach to the base. The pilot ejected and is going to be OK. The family however will not. The 18 month old daughter and her just born sister were lost along with the wife and her mother. So here you leave for work (or whatever) and something as unlikely as this happens and everything in your life changes in an instant.

Things like this make you think twice. That hurtful comment you said before leaving for the day, that missed opportunity to tell someone you love them, the opportunities to get in touch with someone who means a lot to you but you have been to busy to call. Just think for a minute how you will feel should something happen like the fighter jet crash, or 9/11 or the jet that crashed on take off near where I lived and all but 1 person on board died, and you did not get a chance to tell them you love them.

Well time to go brave another day. Yea, most of the ice or snow they thought might be heading our way did not happen. I hope you have a nice day.

That poor man, losing his entire family in the very home he worked so hard to keep them safe in.

My heart goes out to him.

When I was a little kid, a small commercial plane crashed in a neighborhood not far from my house. Deaths were in the 100s including half the neighborhood because the plane skidded through an entire street of homes. Horrible.
I have had dreams about planes crashing into homes ever since that....

Anyway....

Come see my bday tribute to Gman!
:P
