I woke up this morning and instantly thought of this. I thought of Andy and his wife, how she had to wake up this morning and deal with the fact that this morning, and every other morning for the rest of her life, her husband and the father of her two girls is gone forever.
I'm going over to the airport today before it rains, I want to go flying today to try and give myself a sense of normalicy.
I know the CFIs over there are really broken up over this, I just hope they remember that Andy died doing what he loved. I hope his wife remembers that as well, it is perhaps the only bright spot in this tragic mess for her.
I offer a prayer for Andy, his student, his wife, and their two children:
"May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."
