Vicki Van Meter Tribute

I´ve just finished reading Vicki´s book. She became an inspiration for me, because I always wanted to be a pilot. I think it´s crazy to do such things (flying across the country and from the US. to Europe) at that age, but she did it! I didn´t know about her accomplishments in the 90´s till the end of 2009, because I was a kid at the time and, because I´m peruvian. The time doesn´t count, because what she did will always be remembered and will be a fount of inspiration and strongness for all generations. We will all die sometime, death is next to us, that´s when the question comes, why do we live? Vicki lived for giving us an example of life. In her short life she showed us more than other people could show us in longer lifes. That´s why I learnt, that what really counts is how intense you live your life and not how long you live it.
It makes me happy to know, that Vicki is now resting and that she lives on in the hearts of thousands in the whole world. You reached my heart, too Vicki, maybe you wouldn´t have imagined it Vicki, but you reached a peruvian guy, too and I knew about you in Germany.
See you in heaven,
