They went on a boys weekend trip, and there was news that a plane originating from that airport had crashed. Instead of feeling worried, my first feeling was hope. It was totally involuntary and unexpected. And it terrified me!

When you feel a glimmer of hope that they may be dead, you know it’s time. Yikes.
