Secret

OMG I am so nosy… that is a tidbit that all my dirty little secrets revolve around, ha.

But I generally don’t like to keep anything in my life a secret — you might say I tend to over-share. I don’t really believe in secrets…but I can keep someone else’s secret. That I am good at, I just don’t like to keep my own.

Secrets, the secrets people keep and why, or just plain secretive people intrigue me. Like a puzzle I need to figure out — can I figure it out, am I correct? Yes, like a puzzle or perhaps more so like a tight knot I need to loosen or fabric I need to unravel…there is some of that within my self too…much to unravel.

All in time.

Sad

I still remember that day in 1987. I lived in Romulus when the plane crashed — a mere 4 miles away. I was watching TV in our family room…my Dad was out in the garage getting ready to go up north. I remember looking out the family room windows and seeing clouds emblazoned by the setting sun….pretty. Daddy came in the house in the next few minutes and asked if I ‘felt that?’ — “Felt what?” I guess my Dad had felt, and perhaps heard a boom and tremble. I felt nothing. Then we heard sirens…I don’t remember much after that, only a feeling of thankfulness that my Mom came home from visiting my Grandpa a few minutes later. She had gone right through the intersection (Middlebelt and Wick Roads) where the plane crashed only minutes before it happened.

Really good story and I am glad that the lone survivor from the crash is telling her story.

I remember reading about the crash while I was up north — the headlines in the paper, pictures of the devastation. It was heartbreaking. The little girl, the lone survivor — how must she feel? How miraculous yet sad. Very lonely to be a sole survivor, to lose your family, and for one so small and young. I am glad I was away from home during that time though…it did my soul good to be in the beauty of the Michigan woods.
