I've not been able to get through on the phones to Steve's family in England all day. As soon as I heard about the bombings - I tried calling - but I can't get through. Most of his family lives about 90 miles north of London - and we don't think they were on any trips down to the city; but he has friends who work downtown. I wish I could just get someone on the phone. Steve's also out of town on business - I've been trying to reach him all day too - I'm sure he's worried and has been trying to get in touch with his family all day too. Argh. Just last night we were on the phone and he was so excited that London got picked for the Olympics. And now this.
I'm actually home sick from work today - I flipped the TV on briefly this morning and saw the news and since then I've been trying to get in touch with someone. It's times like this when it's hard having family 5,000 miles away. I'm hoping that maybe they are at least checking email today - since the phones are busy.
You and Steve have both been in my prayers much today. I hope your family are all well.
