Things you feel you have to do.

Today is the day 18 years ago, those precious sweet children died in Dunblane.
I was in South Africa when it happened. I was Chair of Governors at our local primary school and remember phoning the school and asked them to have a full school asembly to say prayers for them and their families. There for the grace of God.

I recently visited the Aberfan Memorial, to pay my respects to all those children and adults who died there.
It was something I wanted to do. But the need to go, got worse the older I got. I feel as if the sad memories of my childhood regarding this have now been put to rest.

We are going up to Scotland in May and I intend to go with to Dunblane with flowers as I in Aberfan, and say some prayers and pay my respects.
Again that need is there.

I'll agree with you Sue Spud. When promising lives are snuffed out, the grief doesn't end with the close relatives. That is why remembrance day is such a poignant reminder; we are lucky, we who have managed our three sore years and ten, and it is right that we remember with respect, those who sadly did not.

Hi Sue,

I think it really nice that you choose to pay tribute to those who lost their lives under such tragic cercumstances. I will probably never visit Aberfan or Dunblane but l often think about those poor parent's who lost so much of their own lives on thoses terrible days.
