I saw your post and wanted to thank you all of the APC people for your kind words over the last week. Needless to say, this has been the worst week of my life. Both Delta Air Lines and ALPA have done everything you would expect and more. I feel like I have three support groups, my family, my Delta family, and my ALPA family and they all have kept me able to get up in the morning.
One of the hardest moments was the juxtaposition of cost and value. She just bought a house 4 months ago and while she was saving up for it she was driving my old car. Since she was a little messy, I was cleaning up her car before giving it to charity. I found this old sweater that she wore just about every day. I can picture her now wearing that sweater at the front door (it is glass) stopping over after work. It was from Old Navy and probably cost $25 brand new and was now worth about $1.50 at a yard sale.
So I have a car still worth thousands, despite it's age, and a sweater with no monetary worth at all. Guess which one I am giving away and which one I will have until the day I die.
The bottom line is I am shaky. Most people that have worked with me know that the tougher things got the tougher and meaner I got. Now I just feel off balance and trying to get my feet back. You could do or say anything to me and it just rolls off my back, but my daughter, that has knocked me like nothing else.
I hope this doesn't drag people down, but sometimes writing things down makes me feel better.

Alfa, One of my best friends lost his son this summer and his experience with DALPA and the company were similar to yours, they were of immense help. You have a long journey, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God bless.
God bless.

I wish there was a succinct way to express how I feel on the inside for you. You are living out my worst nightmare many times over and words just fail to express my sympathy.
But I guess where words fail on my end, I hope they do help on your end. Feel free to write as often as you want as much as you want. We'll listen Alfa.

I have four daughters. The thought of losing one of them scares me to death. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to deal with such a loss. You and Alfa have my best wishes.
