Sole Survivor

On January 21, 1985 my aunt, uncle, and my aunt's parents were killed in the Galaxy Airlines Flight 203 shortly after it took off from Reno, Nevada en route to Minneapolis, MN.
My cousin, an only child, lost her parents and grandparents in that flight.
Two years later, to the day, I was born.
My birthday has always been a day of celebration, as well as a day of remembrance for the aunt and uncle that I never got to know.
I can't even imagine how my cousin grew up without her parents, as well as my grandma losing a son, and my mom and her sister's losing their only brother.
Just horrific.
A film, called Sole Survivor, was created.
It tells the stories of 4 people who were the Sole Survivors of major airliner crashes.
The film also talks about the families that were left behind, and my cousin was lucky enough to be a part of the film.
A preview screening is in Minneapolis on May 30th, and I would love to get there if at all possible.

I highly encourage you to visit the website and read more about the film, as well as check out the video preview.

I'm exhausted from tap dance and kettle bells tonight, so this is all I got.
Watching the preview has made me ridiculously emotional too.
I'm out.

Exhausted,
Bamf
