Sitting here I hear the news
"train crash in Paddington"
I sit and wait
and wait
and wait
and then my phone rings
silence
all I hear is tears
and then I realise
we are crying in unison ...


How ironic that I should send the following to show how much friendship means to me...so, in tribute to Jean I also post the following by an 'unknown author'

The special people in this world are the most precious
and the most appreciated people of all.
No matter what happens, they always understand.
They go a million miles out of their way.
They hold your hand.

They bring you smiles, when a smile is exactly what you need.
They listen, and they hear what is said
in the spaces between the words.

They care, and they let you know you're in their prayers.
Special people always know the perfect thing to do.
They can make your whole day just by saying something
that no one else could have said.

Sometimes you feel like they share with you
a secret language that others can't tune into.
Special people can guide you, inspire you, comfort you
and light up your life with laughter.

Special people understand your moods and nurture your needs.
They lovingly know just what you're after.
When your feelings come from deep inside
and the need to be spoken to someone;
you don't have to hide from, you share them.

... With special people.

When good news comes
Special people are the first ones you turn to,
When feelings overflow and tears need to fall.
Special people help you through it all.

Special people bring sunlight into your life.
They warm your world with their presence,
whether they are far away or close by your side.

Special people are gifts that bring happiness and
treasures that money can't buy.

A fitting tribute, Rainbow. I sympathize with you on the loss of your friend....and for all who suffered losses due to this senseless tragedy.

At a time like this, words seem to lose their meaning. I'm so sorry about your friend. Her family must be devastated by this senseless tragedy. I hope you are ok.. if you need to talk, let me know! We are all reaching out for you tonight, a comfort hug across the ocean. Take care.

When I heard of the crash, I thought of you... and though I knew you were safe, I hoped that none of your friends were affected... I'm so sorry...
