Bringing Your Father Home

Sandy, the former flight attendant, told me why she thought it was important. "I think it's very natural to want to touch the ground where he fell" She said: 'You were a child, you're bringing your father home' You get to go back and bring him home. I couldn't face that fact. Since the crash, i didn't just hide from the grown ups in our living room for fear of what they might think. I also hid for myself from the chasm of confusion opening up inside me." It helps no matter what happens, no matter the uncertainty or fear i feel, i take comfort in the fact that my father is standing out on the sidewalk
