What is truly troubling about such experiences is that they remind us of our own mortality. It is an all too real and visceral reminder of the ephemerality of life. In a span shorter than a plane ride, anyone could suffer a similar fate. This is not something we typically enjoy being reminded of.

The thing is, I do not believe this is something you should forget, push out of your mind. Instead, let it serve as a reminder of just how precious the time we have truly is. Remember that our fleeting existence is something that should be enjoyed to it’s fullest and to cherish times of happiness. Likewise, when times are bad, remember just how easily things could be much worse and be thankful that you are so lucky that they are not.

Of course with that supremely enviable figure collection of yours, I would be outraged if you felt anything but happy, lucky, and thankful =P I am so, very, very, jealous…

Anyway, I hope you’re feeling a little better now that it’s been a few days.

Take care.

@Blowfish:
he commented on regular eyes not Danny Choo eyes…

@amyboo:
the guy who was sitting next to her moved once they called the doctors over

@Hageshii_AME:
if only they took her off the plane, i would have felt better and not known she was dead at all

@louki:
thanks for that, it did make me laugh really hard

@Karen:
i wonder too, maybe she was just so sick that she just couldn’t handle the air pressure?

@Asperger’s Anime Blogger:
well i’m not sure fi you understood really… my grandma didn’t die, she was with me on the flight but someone who i don’t know at all died on my flight… but otherwise very touching story

@Coco the Bean:
thats what we thought, maybe she wanted to go to die someplace but just didn’t make it

I’m wondering why she would still fly when she’s that ill, but it would be really sad if she wanted to see someone/somewhere one last time.

Anyway, my grandma died last year, but the night after she died, I had a vision of her with her as a young woman planting vegetables in a garden. She seemed so calm, and said “Don’t worry about me, Jake, I’m happy now”. As for what she looked like as a young woman, I was shocked because I never knew my grandma when she was young, because in the vision she looked like a G-MILF, and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. Heh. When I remember that vision it always helps me deal with the loss because I can think of hip, young, Gardening Mama grandma, instead of the grandma who used to yell at my Dad a lot for swearing in front of me and my bro when she was in the room.

I have the deepest sympathies for you, because I lost my grandma too. Hope this little story helps.
