Thank you

I got this email from a friend todayWith everything that is happening in America at the moment, I am feeling very shaken up and scared. I have been thinking a lot and I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all how much I love you and how important you all are to me. You have all done so much for me and I am so grateful for your friendships.I love you all,BelindaIt is a pity that it takes such tragedy for us to become more open in expressing our love for one another outside of close one on one relationships, but I am thankful for the love of my friend.I am thankful that should a world war occur as a result of these incidents that my fiance would not be called up as he is *too old*, that my sons (mine and his) are too young to be called up (at ages 4 and 14) and that my brother would also be spared as he is medically unfit at the moment (awaiting knee surgery).I am thankful that my children are too young to understand this terrible trauma, that I do not have to try to explain to them what causes people to commit such heinous acts against their fellow men, that they do not have to feel the pain that is reverberating around the world.I am thankful for my family, though we may be separated, we are all safe and well.David, Liam, Rhiannan, Kellie, Peter and Sarah, my family, my love, my life...
