ok. that made me smile. heh. and with a pounding headache going on that was quite a bit of doing! *wink* thanks so much girl! you're both funny and sweet as heck. the very thought that you would even sign up has made my WHOLE week.

-one last word-

does any of this make you think of other serious things? like the men and women that fight daily for us. our lives and freedom? who, as we speak, are under fire and attack? who see more turmoil then we can imagine?
the same as the men and women on the Challenger. putting their lives on the line and dying for what they love and dying doing their duty.

soldiers of the everyday life. can we do the same? hmm?

nooo kidding. if i've not talked about this at all it's cuz i'm so shocked and stunned. words are not enough to describe my pain. it was such a slap on the face to see that ship splinter into pieces and fall to earth. and those family...waiting...*sigh*
they were only a few moments away from HOME! only a few minutes. look at that, peeps! your life can change in but a few moments. seconds. a breath. it's sad and scary! is there anyway to write about what i feel? nope. that's why writing it on blog seemed so useless. pointless. but if there was some way I could comfort or console or help the families that are hurting by writing this, then i would write all day long.
what those astronauts had to go through. what their last minutes must have been like. the thoughts, the last ones, the names on loved ones on their lips. God only knows. *shakes head*
i have nothing to say. i really don't. i'm left and kind of feeling alone. what can i do to help? how can I reach out and touch these people?
"I was scared. I was scared.
Tired and underprepared. But I wait for it.
If you go. If you go.
And leave me down here on my own.
Then I'll wait for you..."

ladies and gents. that's all she wrote. cuz she could think of nothing else to say that would in anyway help. that would in anyway describe the feelings that rage.
