BraN,

I have spent my entire day affixed to the television set watching the horror�s that have befallen your sweet country today.� I, whom call myself a writer, have had difficulty coming up with the words that I wish to convey to my only beloved Engerrrrland friend.�

Trust me when I say that if I had international calling privileges on my cellular I would have called you immediately and I hate myself for not being able to do so.

�

I watched with grief, panic, and memory of similar events my own country has experienced, and yet there was a part of me that felt that because of you the world is not so small or even so vast.� Meaning, I live worlds away and yet because of the friendship we forged, and despite the recent months of absolute silence I know that you envelope all that is good and right in this world and I just wanted to hug you and know that you are ok.

�

I trust in my faith that there is a higher power in this world that you are safe and sound and while you may be shattered in spirit and fearful of the loss of a sense of self safety, that you are surrounded with your family and friends and lots of love and support.

�

I know my words are weak and at best they merely let you know that my heart broke today to see what evil can do in such a long held city of civility and respect.� I wish you much peace in the near future and always.

�

As always, thanks for that gift you bestowed upon me so many many years ago�.the gift of friendship despite miles and distance.� Having known you has changed who I will forever be.

�

Please reply and let me know that you are okay�.

�

Your bestest American friend who is concerned,

�

KriS
