Icepak Fire Hamilton
It is a little closer to home than I first thought.
A family that I cared for last year and still stay in touch with are with the fire service.
We have become good friends.
This has rocked them as there were not only men from red watch on that day .. but 2 of the injured are from green watch aswell. My friends watch.
I have been doing what i can to assist them. mainly child care , school pick ups etc.
Mum is visiting the hospital daily to assist the other wives and families of the injured men.
Dad is working .. and then went away for the night to deal with it in a manly way .. he went hunting. The firefighter Derek Lovell who was killed in the blast was his hunting buddy.
It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the men and their families.
If you have a prayer circle or just have a few moments to add these brave men into your thoughts today please do.
There is a huge service for Derek planned Friday.
Money donated to westpac and ANZ firefighter trusts will help with the families of the firefighters who will be out of action for months to come.
Thank you..
We heard about it here! My heart goes out to them all!

Tragic loss Kiwichatter. Keep up the great support work you are doing. I’ve had a change in thinking around the TV programme DVD, and I’m not going to risk sending it anywhere through the mail. So when you are here, or I am there, we can watch it. Love xx

ryn…there is a copyright on the DVD, so I won’t copy it. They are selling the DVD for $45 so I respect that. Crazy I know, but that’s just me! I really respect the integrity of Morningside Productions which made the film. So, is it my place, or yours!! 🙂
