The older brother of one of middle son's friends was killed. He played bassoon in the school orchestra.

Oh no... I'm so sorry...

[sildil]

Yes, it was a real shock actually, Nick was quite upset as he knew him a little.

*hugs lots* It's always scarier when these things happen to someone you have a connection to... *doesn't really know what else to say* :( :(

[sildil]

yes it really brings it home

[blue-blue.livejournal.com]

Awww... how horrible. *hugs*

[sildil]

Yes it is. His family must be completely devastated.

[larian.livejournal.com]

Oh no. *hugs*

[sildil]

It really brings it home, and a LOT nearer

[tolliel.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that

[sildil]

I couldn't believe it when Nick told me, it brought it so close.

[lotrangel17.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. Everyone there is in my thoughts today. *hugs*

[sildil]

Me too, it is quite frightening how things can change so quickly. So many people affected.

I'm so sorry to hear about that. How devastating for the boy's family. The intentional taking of innocent lives is unfathomable, whether it be in London, Iraq, or Darfur. I'm so tired of it. Keep you and your loved ones safe and strong.

[sildil]

Utterly devastating and yes you are EXACTLY right, the loss of innocent life in ANY circumstances whether Britain, USA, Iraq, is horrendously wrong and appalling. I have to say I fear a backlash.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Sil. One of our faculty is currently on vacation in London and we have no idea if he's okay.

[sildil]

I really hope he is, and hope it was just the inability to phone or even get anywhere out of the city. People were walking for hours last night to get home.

Please know that you, Nick, his friend's family and all of you affected by this are in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, those who do things like this will eventually see that killing innocent people isn't the way to get others to listen. ((((Sil))))

[sildil]

I'll pass on your kind thoughts to Nick and maybe he can pass them on to the family. The trouble is, the extremely minutely small and unhinged minority who do this sort of thing will never see anything, THAT'S what is always frightening about this sort of thing. (((Eldraug)))

[alexcat.livejournal.com]

Will say a prayer for the boy's family and for you all in the UK...

[sildil]

Thanks Alex, your thoughts are VERY much appreciated and I will pass them on via Nick. (((Hugs as always)))

[veetvoojagig.livejournal.com]

Shit. Hugs to all. :(

[sildil]

My thoughts exactly ((hugs))

[veetvoojagig.livejournal.com]

(((Major hugs)))

Lir sends hugs, too.

[sildil]

Thanks Lir
