Sad doesn't even begin to describe it

I had something funny and foreign all lined up for today, but it doesn't seem relevant now.

Sad, sad news in the hockey world this afternoon. I don't want to retell the story in my own words, but you can read it all here:


My heart and prayers go out to all the families and friends affected by this tragedy. This news makes my stomach turn and my mind race.

Life is such a precious thing, enjoy every day you have.

  9. The sport of hockey has been lucky up until this point - we've never experienced such a tragedy of epic proportions with all the air travel our guys are put through. I am in absolute shock over this right now... It's horrifying - and terrifying. There are no words...

    Please try not to let your mind race too much dear... as hard as it may be... <3

    *hugs*

  10. I heard this tragic news as I drove into work this morning; my first thoughts were of you.

    There is so little anyone can say other than to offer prayers for those lost and the families they leave behind.

  11. Yes, terrible news. I saw it in the news and thought of you and your hubby. Events like this are always a reminder of our mortality. :-(

  12. I'm new to your blog but wanted to say I feel for you and the families of those that died in the plane crash. I agree with you, it's so sad when death happens prematurely. It definitely makes me want to cherish life. It also makes me want to do more to help people whose lives aren't as easy to cherish, if that makes sense.

  16. So sad. My boyfriend just got on a plane a few hours ago and I've been a nervous wreck the whole time thinking about this story. I can't even imagine how those families and friends must be feeling right now. Sending out good thoughts and sympathy as hard as I can :/

  17. Thanks to all of you for your good thoughts and prayers. Although we didn't know anyone directly in the crash, it really means to world to me that you are thinking about those involved. The hockey community is a very small one and it is easy to know someone who knows someone. This affects all of us, and saddens me so much for the families, fans, city and organization.

  18. Its weird when I read about this tragedy, I thought of you :/

    A couple of weeks ago my husband and I watched a BBC film called United. Its a movie based on the true story of the 1958 Munich plane crash involving the Manchester United football club. Such similarities. Thoughts and prayers with the families

  23. My Canadian and I saw this last night, while hanging with another Canadian in London. We are all gutted...I used to watch Pavol Dimitra when he played for the St. Louis Blues. He was one of my favorites.

    The Russians have been known for decades for their absolutely SHODDY safety records and I have been warned to avoid Russian planes (many of which have been around since the Soviet era). It's shameful, frankly, that their complete disregard for air safety has had such catastrophic consequences. I'm angry and devastated.

  24. There has been so much tragedy with hockey players in the last year- even before this crash. Its so sad, and kind of jarring actually.
