Thoughts with wot and harrigran.

I have sent messages to DD but we have not had any communication, I am going to contact her DH to see if he knows anything as he is in UK.

Truly worrying, but after the arrest of the Paris ringleader four days ago, perhaps not entirely surprising.

My thoughts are with all of those involved, and with wot, harrigran and any other GNetters who are waiting to hear from family and friends in Belgium flowers

flowers to all who are worried and fear for family members. Hoping you hear very soon your loved ones are safe and well.

They are my only family except one sister in Sussex. Hope everyone's loved ones are okay.

Hopes and prayers for all of you and people in Brussels who are worrying about loved ones. A sad world once again.

Harrigran I hope you hear from your DD soon. X

Wot I hope you here from them soon and they are safe.

I am near to tears, sorrow for the people involved and relief.

DS1 has been flying to Brussels about once a fortnight, on business. Today he's coming to us for lunch, so I know he's safe.

flowers (((hugs))) to anyone who is worried about loved ones.

Once again the world feels like a very dangerous place

DD lives and works in Brussels and travels in and out of Brussels airport as her job involves flying all over the world. I am hoping she is sitting at her desk in the office today. The metro has suffered from explosions too.
DD is due to fly to UK on Thursday to spend Easter with the family.

There are casualties it would appear but it is still unfolding, we will not know the full horror for a couple of hours.

wot Tue 22-Mar-16 08:44:08

Worried about my brother family in Brussels now. One nephew vibered me so he's okay but the rest of them????

Very worrying.

Hope there are no further casualties but still unfolding.
