We are so lucky

Yesterday's plane crash in Kentucky hit very close to home.  Mack was born and raised in Lexington.  He still has a son and his family who live there along with siblings, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. His son's home is less than 3 miles from the airport as the crow flies and he has a sister who has a farm that is right on the flight path.

When we first heard of the crash we were very concerned knowing that his son and daughter-in-law had been planning a trip to Florida this weekend.  And when we couldn't reach his son on his mobile (which he sleeps with!) we became even more concerned.

Thankfully for us, everyone is safe.  But because Lexington is more like a small town than a small city (around 270,000 population) almost everyone will know someone who is effected by this crash.

We count our blessings every day and are so thankful for our loving family.  This is just a reminder of how fortunate we really are.
