There were at least 100 boquets of flowers, including one from the prime minister and the mayor. They were in memory of the 52 people who lost their lives on the trains 3 years ago. As I drew breath, stepped on the train with some irrational trepidation, I was determined to not let them win. My love to you all. My wife an children, my friends. Charish every day, it could be your last!

As I sit here at work wondering how I'm going to fit everything in this week your advice in post 1 makes a lot of sense!!!
