One quick vent before my day begins...last night I started a recorded 20/20. Right before it really started, Hayden woke up. I forgot to pause and went in his room to tend to him. I am sharing that bit of info because if I had seen the intro I would have deleted immediately. I wanted to record this to see the part about women my age becoming anorexic...I still don't really understand that whole thing...it makes me so sad that anyone gets to that point...I had a friend in high school who was and it was so hard to watch her starve herself...
Off track...
Anyway, I got back to my room just in time to see the wreckage of flight 1420. Not only that but another zoom of the front of the aircraft which is where I was sitting. Don't get me wrong, not walking in on that wouldn't take away my flash-backs. In fact they still pretty much occur daily....sounds, smells...you never know what will trigger them. But to actually see the plane again was more than disturbing. I was right back on that plane with all of the people that I couldn't help and ...well...stuff I would rather not share....
Darn you 20/20! I didn't rewind to see the beginning...I turned it off as quickly as I could find the remote. I do get, from the bit I heard, why they were showing this image...and the others...they wanted to let people know that many people actually survive these types of crashes.
Great....I still wish I hadn't walked in on this. There were far too many people on our flight that did not survive and I still have some of their faces burned in my memory. I do so hope that their families did not see this. I can't imagine how horrible for each of them.
Ok...thanks for listening. I am going to go hug my children. I thank God every day for surviving that crash. I thank God for each and every day I've had since.
Take care each of you!

Wow Jennifer, I guess you have a TON to be thankful for. As I was reading your post, I couldn't help but be shocked. Yours is not a story that many can tell. I'm sure many prayers have been said thanking God for your survival. Wow. I can completely understand why seeing those images would be heart wrenching! HUGS!
WOW! This is the first time on your blog, so I'm not sure which flight you are talking about, but I am very glad to hear that you survived. It must have been a very scary experience, and I am so glad that God was there with you and that you survived.
Feel free to vent anytime. We need to do that every now and then.
Hi Jennifer! {{{HUGS}}} This is the first time to your blog as I came after you posted to mine! I'm not sure if you are referring to 1420 to LR but if you are, I was on that exact flight 1 day before and remember that night very well. I'm sure that everything we say here will not wash away those memories but do know that there is a community of people out here that cherish your presence.
