Another Plane Down

Plane Crash

Imagine if you were a 14 year old girl traveling with your mother to Comoros.  Only imagine your plane never lands.  Imagine of 153 people, you are the only survivor.   Imagine being found in the choppy waters amid bodies and wreckage.  

I wonder what your life is like now.  How do you function in the world after that tragedy?  As they pulled her up they said   "She was shaking, shaking. We put four sheets on her. We gave her hot, sugary water...We are trying to warm her up because she was freezing."  Freezing--I'm sure--but we can shake from more than cold.  I can't imagine what it would be like to tremble from absolute horror.
