Heard from a dear friend and she's in Wootton Bassett for the repatriation of the five soldiers, may they rest in peace. Her mother lives there and she was visiting and so joined the crowds to pay her respects. So so sad, oh my goodness how the families must be feeling.
Heard from fellow soldier's Mum and she's extremely anxious and worried and all she wants is M home. Then just had a phone call from another soldier's Mum and she's praying and always has C in her thoughts and hopes he's safe and well and her son goes back out soon with special forces on scouting duties. Can't even begin to think how she's be coping.
Scattered little pockets of motherhood hoping for nothing apart from no bombs or bullets for their young.
Work is definitely salvation at the moment. Everyone so kind and supportive and it's quite a diversion evaluating the new examination format. Initially it does appear to be over complicated though.
It's Friday and I'm going out to meet my new friend and then hopefully tomorrow we're going for a windswept walk in the rain along the beach in Sussex. Some little glow of something to look forward to and temporarily block out the awful dread.
Not heard from H. R gone down to Bournemouth for a party. Heard through C's gorgeous girlfriend that he's arrived at the front again.
Please keep them safe Lord.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
