Dear diary...I light a candle.

My heart dropped when I heard the news,

a block of flats gone up in hellish flames;

a community – hub of family life gone in

confusion and unimaginable chaos,

 

occupants trapped, some unaware of the

red hot flames drifting. So much pain and

trauma for the living. Can't imagine their

shock and terror. I cried a river, wish my

tears could have put out that fire.

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to all

those scared. Let's hope that comradeship

and neighborly love will surround this

community, amid all this harrowing hell.

Tragic. Very gruelling for the firefighters, too. Rhiannon

Tragic all round, and a difficult one for the firefighters.
Such a lot of sadness around at the moment.

Hi Poppy,

I couldn't help thinking of my own loved ones and how I'd feel if it were to happen to us. No words can really sum up the saddness.

Oh Jennifer,

I think every heart in Britain echoes your sentiments. Such a well crafted simple poem written with love.

It really brings home how fragile life is. May we all have some love, peace and happiness away from all this bad news.

Many thanks for your thoughts Edward. So sad for all those who have lost everything, let's hope our thoughts and prayers can help them in some way.

Let the angels of light watch over them and us all.

Jenny.

Good morning Jean,

I can't imagine how the survivors are coping. To loose absolutely everything is unimaginable.

Just wish them hope for the future, that they get the help they need.

Thank you for reading and letting me know your thoughts. Let's just hope the trauma brings the community together to help each other.

Jenny.
