will be forever etched in the minds of all New Zealanders
as the day our country lost it's innocence.
Until this horrific day we all felt safe and secure....
probably because of our geographical isolation
compared to Europe and the Americas.
We were that safe haven
in the Antipodes
downunder
at the bottom of the world
untouched by the horrors of a pre-meditated massacre
...until terrorism visited
Christchurch
a small city in the South Island
that reminds many of England
with the beautiful
Hagley Park.
with the beautiful
Hagley Park.
A place where we thought we were
out of harm's way amid such scenes as
punting on the Avon River.
punting on the Avon River.
Looking back at other terrorist attacks
who could ever forget
the 9/11/2001
in
New York City and Washington, D.C.

7 July 2005
The horrific underground bombings
in
London.

And the one that especially touched our family
the Charlie Hebdoe attack
January 2015
January 2015
in
Paris.
At the time our daughter and her little family
were still living in France.
Thank goodness they were no longer living in Paris
but had settled in a sleepy little village
in the french countryside.

Please pray for the Christchurch families who have
lost their Father or Mother
son, daughter, brother or sister
Grandfather or Grandmother
Uncle, Aunt, cousin, friend or neighbour.

Keep close to your families dear readers and
every day tell them how much you love them.
