In the quiet embrace of winter, the snow painted the land white, creating a canvas of purity in which sounds were drowned in their own pristine beauty. The trees bowed under the weight of their soft mantle, silent witnesses of the transformation that each flake conferred on the landscape.

Snowy Grave
If this is what it feels like, then I’ll happily wish this moment for everyone. This is the way I dreamed I’d go. Few carefully commit to climbing 29,000 feet without considering the chance of themselves being one of the 300 that will never return home. I was not one of the few. I planned every step in my journal. Every entry had a date. And I thoughtfully considered my chances of survival.

IF YOU'RE COLD, THEY'RE COLD
Mommy. It's cold. The child's voice echoes from behind the thick, wooden door, through the foyer and into the living room, permeating the sound of the crackling fire, the screaming wind encircling the house, and the rattling of the snow caked windows.
