As Sandy says, all of my problems have magically become small and unimportant compared to what you went through. We sometimes fill our lives with such pettiness, not stopping to think how fragile it is.<br />With tears in my eyes I send you love from France. I'm so glad you're still with us, and that there are guys like Tony and the Australians in the world.caseytoussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482259941095650449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475972203240775883.post-53284670551861408972009-10-09T23:42:29.511-07:002009-10-09T23:42:29.511-07:00Scary story and so glad you are safe and so were t...Scary story and so glad you are safe and so were the others.

It's incredible that you were able to stay as calm as you did, in the midst of such a traumatic experience.
