That's all I have to say right now. My husband Mike and my brother-in-law David were in the plane crash in the Hudson River today. They are both doing well. Dr. Phil said tonight on Larry King Live in regards to the pilot and the crash and the miracle of it all...
"It's been a good good day."
I am in shock and shaky and can't wait until he can get home tomorrow. Mike said that he looked at a fellow passenger in the ferry terminal and said, "Today wasn't my time." And the passenger said, "It was your time...your time to be rescued."
How profound.
Pray for our peace and for us as we process all of this.
Thank you!

Oh Aimee - Thank God they are both ok. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Hang in there until tomorrow. God is good.
He holds us all in the palm of His Hand.
Oh, Aimee...
I will be praying for you all. I can't wait for you (and all those involved) to have your loved ones in your arms tomorrow.
Wow. Lots to think about, and yes, as you said, so much to process. Our Father will guide you through this...and I'm so thankful that *this* is the journey you are on.

Bless you dear heart.
Thank You Lord.
How scary! Thank God they are ok! I will be keeping your family in my prayers. I couldn't believe the photos I saw today.
I stumbled across your blog a couple of months ago and have been enjoying it!
Praise the Lord! this story was published also in our news paper...
WOW!
I'm so very thankful for you.
This has many in "awe" right now!
Aimee, I have been so happy about this story's good news and to know your husband and brother-in-law were on it is...wow! I am SO glad things turned out how they did, but so sorry you have to go through it all. I bet God has a lot of good to come out of it all. I know you have much to process. I look forward to hearing more as you can/want to share.
OH MY GOODNESS. Matt and I are just sitting here in shock right now...I can't believe he was on the plane!! Praise Jesus that he is safe and alive...God is so good. You will be in our prayers...
Oh Aimee! Speechless. Being "way up here out in the boondocks" with only local tv, I have absolutely no idea of the details of this crash but I am so thankful that Mike is okay!!! Thank you God that you are indeed the author of our days and nothing can snatch us out of Your hands!
Oh my goodness. Your family is in my prayers. Thank God they were okay!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad everyone on the plane is okay. How scary that must have been for you.
It was truly the hand of God that protected every single person on that flight! It could have been the complete opposite! Thank God...Thank God...Thank God!

Praise God that He is good and seeks to protect us! I will remember your family in prayer each time I hear this story.
Wow. Aimee! Thankful and humbled.
Oh, Aimee,
I'm shaking myself to think about what you've been through. If ever anyone wants to see God's grace in action, that event is it!
Praise God!
praise the Lord. praying for peaceful thoughts and settling feelings for you today....
Who knew? I actually found your blog yesterday. I had know idea as I watched the news that your husband was on board.
Praise God! HE is so good!
I am so thankful for God's provision to your family and to all the people on that flight. I am praying for you all as you process this.
I was counting blessings along with all that walked away from that crash.I am so happy that it turned out the way it did..You and your family were truely Blessed..Make the most of all the tomorrows you have been given.
Aimee, I couldn't go to sleep last night, I was up tossing and turning at 4 am thinking of you and Mike and how BIG and GREAT our God is. In light of what we have been through and now this, God is an amazing, amazing God. Praying for you sister--continually.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! May His grace continue to be upon you and your loved ones.
Wow, wow, wow. I read your blog regularly, and was shocked to read your update this morning. Praise the Lord for the way everything played out yesterday, and for the response of your husband and fellow passenger.
As I was watching it on the news this morning, I found myself in tears. One man was interviewed and he said he was so thankful for the pilot so his two year old daughter could still have a daddy and wife could still have a husband. I fell into tears - and now I am doing the same for you and your family. I am praising the LORD for the way He guided the pilot, and for the way He is working in your life. Just wanted to let you know.
I am praising the Lord with you and your family that your husband and BIL are coming home to you.
I linked to your blog so that my readers could read your wonderful news.
Wow! Thanks be to God.
Hi, Aimee. This is Kelly Long (Michael's wife). We are praising God for his mercy and grace upon your family and each of the people who were aboard that flight. I actually found out about Mike being aboard from Scott Matthews in Macedonia just a short time after it happened. Amazing how technology works. When I called Michael to at work, he immediately began praying for Mike and was so grateful that "Sully" had the experience, expertise and presence of mind to guide that plane down. Ultimately, we know that none of that was possible without our God who can do abundantly more than we ask or imagine. Praising God for this miracle!
Thank God they are okay! Praising Him for his mighty works. I know you'll feel a hundred times less shaky once you actually see him in person- wow. We'll be praying for you guys!
Unbelieveable! I'm so thankful that everyone made it out ok. Seeing him...that's gonna be the best hug of your life!
Aimee, I am so glad for you!
Take good care of him and yourself, with that little life inside you!

Thank the Lord they are safe!
When I heard about the positive outcome of the crash yesterday I just started crying because for once something went right. There was a happy ending to this story and I was just so grateful. Glory be to God!

Kim

Oh, Aimee, I feel God's care so strong right now! Praying for you and yours-
Oh Aimee. My prayers for you all. How scary it must have been to receive that phone call. I watched the news reports this morning with tears in my eyes. While the pilot was truly a hero, God's grace was most definitely at work yesterday.
I am rocked. We never know what is going to happen. The world is such a small place. People are real. People are close, people are affected by others. I am so grateful that you have been spared such a huge loss. Thankyou God, thankyou, thankyou and for your children, all 5 thankyou.
Praise God they are all okay.
Thanking God for sparing your sweet family. I'm sure there's a lot of love and hugs and praising Him going on about now.
Blessings and hugs to you, Aimee,
Susan
