I dropped the twenty when I saw my sister’s things, there were clothes, a little box of her eyelashes, we left everything there out of respect. Where the plane hit there was a leaf floating, it didn’t move just like it was floating in the air, and when I got closer I saw that it was a page from the bible that Jenni always carried, we kept it because we thought it was a message from my sister who was still there”
