Asking for a prayer

Of course we all are deeply moved and distressed by such events, not to mention the devastating effect on parents. Let us simply think of all persons, particularly children, who came and come to grief every day all over the world, be it because of accidents (often avoidable), wars (always avoidable) or illness and hunger (often avoidable too and this is also very sad). Children we know, or a friend's children, are something special indeed : yes we all hope very strongly that these kids are going to recover. Prayers are good, crossing fingers perhaps too. All the best to them!
