Who those whom dont live in New Zealand and havent heard about this tragedy read these links
scroll down on that page to read all about it
Last night I watched the news. I cried long and hard. The reporters said that when some of the families were told some got angry. This brought to mind when I found out my first best friend was murdered. I got angry at my father whom had some of the newspaper I read it in. I thought he should have known what was on the front page. Then I cried.
Since last night I have been thinking a lot about the mother of Joseph Dunbar. He was the youngest in the mine (only a year younger than my eldest daughter). He had been keen to start his job and it was his first day on the job. He was becoming ambitious. He was his mothers only child.
My thoughts and prayers also go out to all the children whom lost their daddies. One unborn child will never met his/her dad :( I feel for the wives, partners, siblings and parents of their lost one too. They are constantly in my thoughts at the moment - they were my first thought this morning and will be my last thought tonight before I go to sleep.
May the miners RIP

A very touching tribute and I too am thinking of those families. It's so hard to comprehend it all. It will take a long time for the raw emotions to soften and for the grief to be bearable. This is so tragically sad. Love to all x
We did hear about it on our news and in our papers and I feel so sorry for their families. Most of our English pits are cosed now but I can remember there being mining accidents when I was a child. Being claustrophobic I would hate to be in a mine.
It was awful the way you found out about your friend's death in the paper but truly your dad did not know when he gave you the paper to read. I am rather the same in that I do not always read the front page news first - I flick through and settle on whatever article attracts me for my first read.
I realize that Meg and I feel bad about it
I think I was in shock
poor dad coped it
i think i beat myself up sometimes
Billy asked if i ever said sorry
i dont think i ever did :(
A beautiful tribute Jen :)
I'm sure your dad realsed you were in shock, Jen, and understood. It isn't every day, thank goodness, that one reads such appalling news in the paper. Don't beat yourself up about it, my love, - I'm sure he would not want you to. I've done far worse things!
Blessings to those lost and families - Rachaelxo
