Hero

I never again will look at the sky and see only vastness and beauty. From that day on I saw that death was also and always there.

It became clear, from your message to the landing before you died, that you knew you could save your own life by landing right there. You also knew, however, that by doing so you risked that the helicopter would fall to the landing and kill those who were there. Instead, risking you own life, you took the chance and attempted to fly back to service. We all know the rest of the story. Your final message, "tell my girls i love them". You knew.

I love you too....always....your baby girl. oxoxoxox
