For those who have and have not heard, there was a helicopter crash this morning off the coast of St. John's. It was a Cougar Helicopter, the same helicopter company that flies everyone out to the rigs here. Jeramy was not on it and he is fine, however he is now stuck on the rig until we don't know when. The helicopters will not be flying for at least a few days. He had planned on coming back tomorrow, but now we will just have to see. We were planning on leaving for Mexico on Tuesday, but that is also now up in the air.
There were 18 on board and so far there has only been one survivor found. They are still searching, but it's not looking good. These kinds of events always turn my stomach inside out and we've never had one hit quite this close to home.
Think of our Daddy. He is really ready to be back home. And of course think of the families of those that are lost. My heart aches for them in a very personal way.
