Re: London bombings
We are constantly being told that "It's not a question of if, it's a question of when", particularly in London. If you lose someone you love in such an awful way, you wont' forget, whether anyone reminds you or not. I still think about Jamie, the chap who stayed over with a friend and who rang his girlfriend to say he was getting on a bus. Following 7/7, she put up posters on every lamppost near us, asking if anyone had seen him. It took a couple of weeks to confirm that he had died on the No. 30 bus. Every time I walk through Tavistock Square, I can see the marks on the walls of the GMC building where they were damaged by shrapnel. Perhaps we shouldn't forget, and if we occasionally need reminding, is that a bad thing?
It is a very true saying - "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance".
