Stay on Board

I hear the sound of the blades on the chopper cutting through the air as it gets closer and closer. A soul has already left to that higher place and the other is fighting to stay on board. I close my eyes to pray for the families. I first pray for those that had already left us, thinking that it is so unfair that you were taken from your family so abruptly. My mind then quickly switches to think of the those still battling to stay on board, the doctors and nurses attempt everything within their power to keep you here with us trying to give you the one thing you deserve most….time. You slowly slip away and your spirit rises to the sky above looking back down on your loved ones. So many are left with so many questions…..Why? Who would do such a thing? ….. Those questions can never have an answer that will be satisfied by those that are asking it. The knocks on the door are sure to follow. The devastation, heart break, tears, anger, frustration will
come next. I hope that all of those thoughts of those here wishing you the strength to carry on will be felt. It won't be easy and it will feel that you have an insurmountable mountain to climb…. The journey to return to some sort of normalcy will take you and your loved ones sometime to return to. I hope and pray that trip to that spot in your life will come soon. We are all sorry for the loss of your loved ones….
