Devastated by the news of the airplane, the attendant checked the passenger list and saw his name to her shock. "I just wish to let his wife know that he was thinking about her with the purchase of the watch. As for myself and the ones still here, it's a message to make the most of every day, be kind to each other, love your family & friends and be happy with what you have, even in your crappiest day at home or work. Remember, you are still here and get to see the sun rise with your love ones," she said.
