THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK

i just finished watching this movie on tv and, i think, it was the most touching movie i have ever seen...
as i was watching it, hearing others stories and hearing their memories, and just trying to imagine how they felt that day, i am touched...
i am touched at the passengers and crew members families, as well as the victims, themselves...
i looked over at Will, who had fallen asleep on the couch, and i just started to cry...i love him so much and i just could not possible imagine having to say goodbye for the final time...knowing that i would never see him again...i heard actual recordings of people saying their final goodbye's and i love you's and i cannot imagine the fear they had, and yet, how calm they were...
it's amazing to hear of all these people who were on the plane...the one's who barely caught the flight, the one's who traded co-workers to be on that flight for whatever reason, the one's who were supposed to be on other flights, the one's who normally always miss flights, but this time get there early...and yet, as the same time, think about how if they were not on that plane, would things have stilled turned out the way they did???
in one part, a passenger is speaking with a verizon supervisor, and he asks her to pray with him...she recites the Lord's Prayer over the phone and you hear, ..."thy kingdom come, thy will be done..."
and you know it's his will...
i don't know any of these people, but i cried as i watched this, and saw their bravery and their courge...and can only hope that i would have done the same thing...
they gave the ultimate sacrifice...they gave their lives to save the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of others...
this dvd can be purchased at www.discovery.com/dvd and i would highly recommend the purchase of it...100% of proceeds do go to a flight93 memorial fund...
i just wanted to share my feelings on how precious life is...you just don't know what is held is store for our lives and i am forever grateful for the knowledge that i have...to know that i can, and will be, with Will for time and all eternity...and i am, and always will be, forever grateful for that knowledge...
I Love You, all...i don't say it enough to my family...i don't know how...but i tell you now, I love you!!!

i know it was just that good that makes you wonder what would have happened if they were different people on that plane or what would you do if it were you and you had to say good-bye to loved ones?!?! i don't even want to think about it!!
