Whitecaps Crash.

So I'm sure some of you heard about the helicopter crash in Kenosha early Sunday morning... and if you didn't, well there was. ;) It was only 2 blocks away from our house. It was 5:30 Sunday morning, and a man and his finacee` were coming home from a trip to Indiana. It was REALLY foggy that morning. Like so foggy we couldn't see Shelly's house. But they were coming home, and they couldn't see. And the helicopter flew sideways into a house, splitting it completely in half. The 2 in the helicopter died, but the family in the house managed to get out. Parents were on one side of the house and the 3 kids were on the other side. Somehow avoiding the helicopter. The kids were 2, 6, and 9. And the house the helicopter crashed into is right across the street from the Elementary School, so its kind of scary for those kids. It was on the front page of the newspaper this morning... and it's all over the news. It was on the t.v., on all the news websites. A bunch of news people were driving up and down our street yesterday. Chicago was up, Milwaukee came down, a bunch of other people were here too. It was crazy. Helicopter pieces are all up and down the street, in the neighbors yard... The house has to be torn down, there is NO way to repair it.

This is the second air crash we've seen in whitecaps since we've lived here... 10 years. One summer, when I was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade, we were at the Moore's house (our neighbors down the street). And we were in their backyard, having a party with a bunch of other people, and out of nowhere a plane came crashing down into, what was then, the field behind our house. Now it is a bunch of houses, but it was just a mud and grass field. We used to play around back there. Go sledding, run around, play hide and seek, we'd find jewels, bottle caps. It was fun. I remember seeing that plane come down though. It was so frightening. The guy flying the plane lost both arms and both legs, and broke a bunch of ribs and stuff. Scary stuff man. So my dads whole life, living in Waukegan, right by an airport, he never saw any crashes. Now, 10 years living here, not by a big airport, we've seen 2. O_o

Here's some links to some websites about the crash.

So baby you my only love; the only love I want is yours. Nobody is going to take me away from you, and I hope it's the same for you. :)

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

I've finally found what life's really about. Hanging on when your hearts had enough, and giving more when you want to give up.

You're lucky you know, right? - Emma

Life is short, Break the Rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that once made you smile.

Laughter on one's lips is a sign that that person deep down has a pretty good grasp of life.

Look beside you. Shes trying to hold your hand. - Emma.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
