Fire

It´s I.´s birthday today and the two of us have just returned from Sweden, where we spent 3 lovely days.

However, my thoughts are somewhere else. When I went to the supermarket today I saw lots of flowers on the stairs to the hairdresser close to my house. For some reason I did not reflect much on it until I saw the headline in the regional newspaper: 4 kids killed in a blaze.

I bought the paper and found out that all 4 children belonged to the same family and that I "knew" them. Their mom owns the barbers shop that I mentioned above. I pass it nearly every day and the kids were often with her at work after school.

I just cannot grasp the whole tragedy and feel so much pain for the mom. It must be hell on earth for her! Everything she loved and treasured is gone.

  1. Oh, a really sad story! How could that happen? Poor mum! Hm, kind of a reminder to enjoy everday as much as possible, 'cause you never know what happens tomorrow.
