Sadness....

Today I am filled with sadness. Can you imagine how it must feel to lose your home, your family and everything you work so hard to protect in a bushfire? Over 35 people have tragically died in these terrible fires and many more are risking their lives to save what they can!

I was in Big W today when the news caught my eye on the television display, showing the Victoria premier reduced to tears whilst holding a press conference about the loss of lives and homes...very moving and before I knew it, there were about 12 or more families standing around all watching the telecast and I'm sure they were all feeling the same way. My heart goes out to all those that have been affected by the fires, including the fire fighters that selflessly volunteer their time to assist, travelling from everywhere just to be there to help someone...I will leave it there, wishing there was more I could do!!
