My girls and my hubby will be getting an extra tight squeeze tonight.

And today there is news that French highschoolers are being held hostage by a former teacher.

Anyone else catch that two-part series on NI, with the victims and perps coming face to face? Gut-wrenching stuff!

Best wishes to your friend & their family Sue.
As for Dunblane its a tragic memory that will always live with me but one good thing that has recently come out of that tragedy is a young tennis star called Andy Murray.
Dunblane can look at him & feel very very proud.

Re: give the other half and the kids an extra kiss tonight...
I remember first hearing about Dunblane....it was so tragic. I was off on mat leave with my first child, she was only 2 months old....I just sat and cried all day! Then cried again thinking about all the mums on mothers day who had lost their children. Makes me so sad even now when I think about that.
Tis truly a sad world at times.
