A few of my favorite things

Last year as some of you may know I lost some co-workers/friends in a plane crash in Guatemala. They were going to help build a school when the engine failed on their little plane and all but 2 were killed. I think about that a lot this past year and mostly because my friend John was one that was killed and I miss him. I think about him all the time and where I have lost other friends in my life this one affects me because he is a lot like me. His life was very similar, we liked the same things and he has such a beautiful family.

I reflect more on this when I need to travel for work. Not because I am afraid to fly but because I know there will be a time where I wont see my family and just thinking about being apart from them shakes my soul. I think of John watching over his family and longing for the day he can hug his little ones and that day will come. I know that he will see them again, as will I. Our journeys are never permanent, just don't every forget to tell the ones you love the most just how much they mean to you before you go.

I love you Alex, Meadow, Eden and Evan. Josie you are the light in my world. Always remember to smile and the world will smile with you.
