Feisty Repartee

The Power of Words

Like most of us, I awoke Thursday morning to news of the blasts in London. On the way to work, I listened to the FoxNews coverage on satellite radio. I had that feeling of dread, that feeling of not knowing what was next to happen and not knowing whether my friends just outside of London were safe and sound.

Fortunately, I called that morning and each was accounted for and well. My good friend's sister-in-law was stuck in the north of London and I'm quite sure she had great difficulty getting home that day, but she was fine.

Later, I did my routine search of the blogroll and realized one of my fellow bloggers knew someone who had been injured in one of the blasts. Nuggets reported his best friend Beks was in ICU.

Not knowing what else to do, I asked you to go over and send your prayers and well wishes. A number of you did. Thank you.

This morning Nuggets sent me an email. Here is part of what he said:

I'm just back from London and the comments took me by surprise and really, really touched me. So stuck for words at the moment but the kindness of strangers is truly remarkable.

Again I thank you.

There is good news now. Despite her cuts, bruises, burns, and broken ribs, Beks is on the mend.

Nuggets has a post up to say Thank you and gives a complete update, as well as a few details of what happened. He hopes to be able to post a complete account of Beks' ordeal in the next few days.
