Remember

One year ago today, four of my co-workers and their pilot lost their lives in a plane crash near South Bend, Indiana. They had flown there for the day for a client meeting and were on their way home. I don't want to remember how horrible that day was, but I do want to remember how it changed my outlook on life and death and how it strongly reinforced how quickly a loved one can be taken from us with no warning. Five people lost their life partner that day, ten lost a child, and eleven lost a parent much too soon. To me that is unimaginable, but real.

I will never forget them.
