Day Eight.

Ferocious fires have ripped through parts of Victoria leaving many people homeless, without any possessions and taking many, many lives. I have been in such shock, disbelief and sadness. I just can not fathom the heartache so many are feeling. It’s just horrible. It’s all over the news and on every paper. More than 170 are confirmed dead. So sad.

Australians are pitching together and raising money to help those now in need. I am hearing on the radio of small children donating all their pocket money. Businesses, families, everyone is donating. I am so grateful to live in a country with such generous people.

I am also so grateful that all my friends and family are safe. I hope that the fatalities number doesn’t rise any further. Sending love to everyone in need. x

  1. I’ve thought of you and your family often these past days as I’ve heard the stories of the fires on the US news channels. So glad all of you are safe and accounted for! This IS a horribly sad thing, but it is nice to see communities coming together to help out their neighbors (even if they don’t know them personally).

  2. Last night I was trying to encourage David to donate blood; he never has and is notoriously squeamish where blood is concerned. Liam said, “I’ll do it! Can I do that?”

    I :heart: my son’s endless generosity…

  3. It is just so endlessly horrifying…I have family in the areas of bushfire and it’s just terrifying. I wanted to be in closer touch this year, but not like this…

  4. It’s so sad. There are so many stories being shared everyday and it’s so upsetting.

    Jen – We’re nowhere near Victoria. Probably an hour flight away. So very safe where we are. x
