passenger

I was the passenger in the photo shown getting off the helicopter at Palmetto hospital. I realized immediately after the accident I was seriously injured and might not live but it took me a minute to remember that my wife was waiting for me at the airport and not on that plane. During that one minute I became intimately knowledgeable about the true fear, grief and pain of losing a loved one. My heart goes out to those who have to live with that reality whether they were on the plane or suffering the wait for information. That one minute helped me accept my fate whatever it would be and endure the physical pain that was to come.
