Anyone who has seen the news reports of yesterday’s horrific plane crash in Madrid would be thinking just how on earth these things manage to occur in the first place. It breaks your heart to know that those people were all just starting out on a nice holiday; many probably sitting in their seats with the same pre-takeoff jitters that most of us experience and yet convincing themselves that planes don’t just crash that easily. I know because I do exactly the same thing – I am a nervous flyer and sit with white knuckles throughout the entire flight.
We all know that before we go off on holiday to have all our travel documents, our travel medical insurance and our plans all organised and in place. But how can you be prepared for something as unexpected as this…?
The most important things we tend to overlook; telling those close to us that we love them, resolving an argument, bringing closure to a long held conflict. I know that we cannot all live each day with the assumption that each day could be our last…but maybe tragedies such as this serve to remind us about what is really important in life.
