Tragedy fuels new appreciation for life

This is in reference to the essay written by Justyna Sawczyk in a recent Sunday Daily Herald.

The essay is regarding the tragedy Poland as a nation and its people endured when the Polish president's plane crashed.

She couldn't have written it more truthfully as it calls our attention to the gift of life.

It's unfortunate that many times it takes a tragedy as this to awaken us to ponder the importance of what is life and how short it may be. The essay as written should be read and reread and perhaps passed on to our friends.
