I don’t think it’s quite normal, or perhaps it is, to feel as sad as I do about the death of someone completely unrelated and unknown. However, it’s the death of not only 1 person but 4…….to loose your husband and three sons at the same time is a blow I cannot imagine a person recovering from and thinking that this mother has to continue on for the one son she now has left.
I don’t know how I’d react to headlines like these:
Bodies recovered from wreckage of plane in Wyo.

or the headline when it said the wreckage was found and no survivors were located. One has to wonder what was going through Luke Bucklin’s head when he decided to take off in that snow storm? Had he done it before? Had he expected it to be over soon or for it to be only over the area they were currently in? What went through the head of the father of 4 as his plane was going down? One can only hope that they did not suffer and their deaths were instant.
My thoughts and prayers go out to this family who’s lives will never be the same again.

It is normal to feel sad when any life is lost. I believe that it is more tragic that the kids were at the mercy of someone else… their father or a even a higher power. Good always comes from tragedy whether it be seen now or ten years from now. I can only strongly hope that we NEVER have to go through anything close to that kind of loss in our lives. Thanks for that!!!!
