It has been a sad and strange week. I don't really know what to say about all of it except that it is overwhelming. Last night I watched CNN as some of the known flight passengers names, professions, ages and home towns scrolled across the bottom of the screen. I noticed that the plane that crashed in Pittsburgh carried a two little girls, a two year old and a four year old. I am horrified at the huge amounts of people who were killed and are missing but I am especially haunted by that. I can't explain why because I know that there were probably a lot of children that were killled during all of this. Maybe it is because I look at my own two and four year old girls and think about what it must have been like for them and for their parents.To see the names of those two little girls who were most likely completely confused and frightened and oblivious as to what was going on or why minutes before their little lives were gone is just horrible.
