I am now so glad that I learned to fly and have my own humble little
airplane. It makes a difference. I think it really does.

Indeed it does. Your story reinforces my long-standing belief that life turns
on the thinnest of dimes, and that when your time comes, it won't matter if you
are crossing the street in front of your own house or flying your airplane IFR
to minimums.
