Shock and sadness
Today it’s a beautiful spring day in Switzerland – the warmest day so far this year.
Most people don’t seem to be thinking about the weather or enjoying the day. Today our hearts as a nation are going out to the parents and families of those killed and injured in the horrific bus crash near Sion. Today they will identify their dead children and take them home to Belgium.
It seems unbelievable that so many can have died – driving through a road tunnel – something that many of us do daily. Whether the driver made an error or had a heart attack doesn’t really seem to matter. It won’t bring the children back.
I can hardly conceive how those families are feeling. My heart and my prayers – for what they are worth – are with them today. I am acutely aware of how precious life is and how really unimportant the niggles of everyday life actually are.
In Memoriam.

I heard about this on the news this morning, tragic. They said they couldn’t understand the deaths because they’d been wearing seatbelts, but I doubt we’ll ever know the real reason.

My mother always said that to lose a child would be the worst thing in life that she could imagine. My prayers are with the parents of those why died and for those who are recovering (hopefully) from their injuries.

It’s truly terrible and so dreadfully sad. Can’t stop thinking about those poor children and their families.

A terrible tragedy that brought us all to tears, what a waste – gone in a moment.

Totally shocking, and made me grateful for my day at home with the kids today, even if they can be little s*ds at times xxx

This was in our paper too, Helen. I was so very sad to read about this awful accident….nothing is ever the same after something like that. š
