18 May 2009

Some of you may recall that the mother of a friend of mine went missing on 18 December last year. This morning I've just woken up to an email with news that Dawn has been found.→[More:] I'm crushed, but glad that Dawn has been foundd and after 5 months the family can grieve and hopefully start to get some closure. My heart goes out to Claire, her sisters and all their family.
I'm so terribly saddened by this. Hopefully I can make it through my day without weeping all over my clients.

Oh honey what a sad story. Yes it's a relief for them to know - but still so painful.
