Hi there everyone.

Just a brief note to say I'm still here, and although things are not great, it's not the end of the world.

A very good friend of mine has woken me up by making sure I think the thoughts that other fathers in this world are thinking tonight:

"Please God, don't let the bombers come again tonight"

If I read this back, I am for the first time in my life beginning to realise what "life" really is.

Thanks for your good wishes. Somehow, this will get sorted out, and I will come back to life. I will be (occasionally) looking in to see how all my friends are doing, and I will draw strength from the things you are saying to each other - for you are all still alive, and that shows me the way forward.

See you all soon.
