A letter to our friends in Minneapolis

[mapsedge]

This, from my daughter, Katie, who is six.  She saw the bridge collapse on the news tonight, and when told we have friends there, she decided to write.  And I quote:


Deer Karen and Bear
I Hop You are ok my
Mommy and Daddy Love You
Ii'm Katie and Jami
Love Katie.


End.  Quote.

Have I mentioned lately that I love your daughter?
Cause I do...what a sweet spirit she has...you and M have done an amazing job with her.

We hope you are okay too. Some scary stuff... makes me glad I'm not in the bay area driving over a bridge every day to work anymore - or living in the northland coming into the City every day. My prayers to your friends.

Adorable! And a credit to her parents!

The mouths of babes...

I was stunned to see the video.
I worked for Control Data for a number of years and drove to Minneapolis, across those very bridges, numerous times a year.
It's hard to imagine them falling out from underneath you.

SO sweet!

Gonna copy this & show it to Bear. All are well, & reports are trickling in from all local peeps & co-workers that they too are well. Spent the night on the phone reassuring family & friends when we could get through & have spent today catching up w/ extended internet family. Friends in London & Dublin have emailed- the news has travelled.

Fortunately, as bad as it is, it is not worse. The fatalities remain low, so we are focussing our positive thoughts on the missing- hoping they turn up safe.

Please hug your little ones for us & assure them we are fine & grateful for their concern.
