Thanks for your good wishes, I'm sorry this is the first chance I've had to get back on here.

Michael came home safely late last night. The game went into extra innings and when he got home, he knew what had happened, but hadn't seen any pictures or knew the extent of the damage. So we sat up late watching the news.

I've heard so many stories of people who say they had just gone over the bridge earlier that day, or decided to take a different route that night. Lots of close calls, but nobody that I know was involved.

The city is sort of in shock right now I think. My friend works downtown and can see the bridge from her building. She said it was like a circus today with helicopters and national media and people walking dogs and pushing baby strollers down there just to get a look at what happened.

It's amazing so many people survived the fall.

There are a lot of good people out there who have and are helping out, and it's really heartwarming to hear from friends and acquaintances who are concerned about everyone's well-being.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Send your good thoughts to the families of people who didn't make it.

Namaste,
Kate

Hi Kate

I came home late last night from work, checked to see if you had replied and nothing! Just logged on and so very happy to read your post, that your Michael is home safe.

pyxichick??? What does this name mean to me, really odd, there is no face when I think about you, yet I felt so very sad and worried yesterday about your post on here.

I discover/learn so many different things by coming on this site.

Namaste? Never heard of it, so I had a look on the internet, I am not religious but I was interested in what I read. I am sure if nothing else, others seeing this lovely photograph of the children will make them smile.....I hope.

Hope Minnieapolis and it's people recover real soon.

Thanks to you I also came across this, think it sums people up on this site, don't you? I might keep this on the end of all my posts.

Kate,
thanks for posting back! I know many of us were very concerned when we hadn't heard. Very glad that Michael is safe and sound.

We'll continue to keep your city in our prayers. I saw a family on CNN yesterday who's wife/mother is missing. Just cried and cried. So sad.



ClockworkOrange- LOVE the flashing box at the bottom. We ARE all connected in this world! If we'd remember that, we might stop fighting and at least try to get along. Wishful thinking, I suppose...

My thoughts are often there with the families and the divers, and the people who are suffering there.
