omg mcdreamy - didn't know anything about this. My thoughts are with you.

Oh McDreamy - haven't seen this on the news - thoughts with you and everyone else....

How sad

I heard the sirens last night and thought there had been a fight or something somewhere - I had no idea until this morning. They will be so missed.

Very

I posted a thread about this, I was wondering if you were ok, was worried about you as I knew you were in Cyprus.
Very sad

thanks saltire, very thoughtful of you I think tomorrow will be tough when all the children go back to school and the adults back to work. It's all been a bit surreal today

Oh McDreamy I am so very sorry - it must have rocked you all to the core.

Will think of you tomorrow.

Oh - saw the other thread about this earlier. DH is RAF and I was wondering about you. Only person he knows out there doesn't have kids.

I suppose the MOD will put smoke detectors in all accommodation now eh??!!!

Am also a Forces wife and I know just how things like this can shake the whole camp.
We have friends out there with two children and I went cold when I heard. Thinking of you all x

Lurkey we already have smoke detectors and have done for ages here - don't know whast happened, I am afraid it might be something house related though as these houses are so old fashioned! But no-one knows yet

Just hope it wasn't due to people living in unsafe quarters!! My thoughts are with you all.

oohh me too Lurkey

Hi all,
I'm just going to echo McDreamy's thoughts about this awful news. I've only been at Akrotiri eight weeks but I'm feeling the gravity of this tragedy on such a friendly, welcoming and close-knit community. I know that one of the children was a little boy in my daughter's year at school, and a best friend of one of my friend's children. The school will be shattered and I don't envy the job of the teacher's in trying to help more than 60 five-year olds make sense of the senseless loss of one of their schoolmates. Not to mention the impact on the other children and staff there.
On Friday morning I sat with joyful tears in my eyes watching three classes of hopeful, happy, and vivacious children prouudly showing off drawings of their mothers and announcing why they loved them. Now one of them is gone forever, together with a sibling and father and the tears are back in my eyes again.
I am just so grateful to have my children by my side.
To anyone who has been touched by this or any other such tragedy, may I extend my heartfelt sympathies.

Oh Juliet, your post has made me cry!

My thoughts are with you all.
