The days leading up to the 4th were an unexpected step into an unknown world which we were not prepared for.

As if watching from a distance, the story unfolded around us. Time stood still that afternoon, and yet time went so fast.

The blog became a nightly journal, a way to talk to no-one in particular and at the same time talk to everyone.

A story told day-by-day which continued for a year, through happy, sad, and worrying times.
