It's not the thought of dying or getting hurt that scares me, not by a
long shot. It is the thought of my girls growing w/o a father or a
crippled one, that's scary.

The Monk


I have the same thoughts many times before I fly. I'll go kiss my kids
goodbye and the fleeting thought will run through my head "is this the last
time?". Morbid, I know and I also know that I'm MUCH more likely to have a
stroke or have a car wreck on the way to the airport, but we're talking
about non-logical emotions. I'm sure it's all in the comfort level.

I "feel your pain". I understand completely, but I also have to use my head
and understand that 99.99% of the time, I'll be fine If we let the fear
go too far, we'd be sitting at home worried that the house will fall in.
Don't be stupid, don't be reckless, but enjoy what you can.

MHO,
