I'm so glad you're ok, Inge. Praying for those affected by this tragedy.

Thank you so much everyone for your concern and solidarity, and for thinking of me and my family. It means the world to me.

I'm at a complete loss for words, and keep thinking that the world is becoming a very scary place. All those people who lost their lives today, all the people injured, and once again, too many people whose lives will never be the same again after today, all because of this senseless violence. Incomprehensible.

Sending love and hope for the world. xxxx

I have a friend that lives in Brussels. But today she was working from home. Thank goodness.

Horrific atrocities committed today, my great empathy to those affected in Belgium. I am pleased that you are okay Inge.

Inge, I am so glad you are ok and I feel so bad for your country and for all those impacted by this awful event.

Inge-I am so grateful that you are OK. The world indeed is a scary place.

Love to you and your countrypeople, Inge!

I thought of you, too, Inge, and so glad to hear that you are safe. These acts of senseless violence are horrifying. It's so unsettling and disheartening to think of all the hatred in the world today. My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones.

So glad you are ok. Shocking news and there are no words. Sending love and thoughts x

Sending prayers for saftey, positive thoughts and warmth your way to rest of Belgium.

Inge, you and the people of Belgium are in my thoughts and prayers.

Inge, you are in my thoughts. It is a particularly difficult time for you personally and now you are also rocked by this wider community terror and distress. Huge hugs to you.

Thinking of all in Belgium after these terrible events.
Inge, I'm so relieved that you and yours are safe.

I've opened this thread a dozen times without commenting. There is nothing to say, I just don't understand what's happening to Europe.
It's a relief to know Liz or you were not impacted.

I'm nodding along with everything that's been said, and so true, Isabel: what is happening to Europe, and to the world?-(((

Suz - It all feels beyond strange, surreal and just extremely sad.

Anna - I am SO glad to hear your friend in Brussels is safe!

Thank you again so much everyone_

Glad our Fabbers are ok, such a terrible tragedy, that rocks the entire world to the core. Praying fo rthe victims friends and family and for the entire country as they mourn and come to terms with this kind of evil amongst them.

Oh Inge, I am so relieved you and your family is safe. You already have so much on you plate without this horror on your doorstep! Many hugs to you, dear friend!!!
This is a real tragedy which is hard to grasp and it does feel surreal...

I don't understand....I don't think anyone can understand...the kind of thinking that results in here kinds of horrors. Take care of yourself Inge.

Did anyone hear about the attack on the Ivory Coast resort yesterday too? 22 people killed there, on the beach, including children. It's all so horrible.

I thought the Ivory Coast attack was last week, unless this is another one. I had friends from Sweden who went to live there about 25 years ago. I've lost track of them but often wonder how they are. The Brussels attack is really bothering me, much more than Paris did, for some reason. I don't think it's unexpected (the attacks) but I am troubled by how they are ramping up in frequency.

Was it? I only read about it yesterday but it could have been older news. Sad that it's hard to keep track now.

Very sad news indeed.

I'm heartsick at the news from Brussels, so very sad... But I definitely add my thankfulness to everyone else's that you and yours, Inge, (and Anna's friend) are alright. It would have been unspeakable for you to have another tragedy this close to losing your papa. But I know that the shock and pain of the whole even had to add a whole new dimension to the raw exhaustion you were already experiencing. I'm so sorry.

Glad you are ok Inge. So sad and troubling.

Glad to hear you are okay Inge. So scary.

Sending good thoughts to Inge and the other fabbers in Belgium. So many connections are made here and it is hard to see the suffering in the wake of these attacks. Peace.

So glad to know you and your loved ones are OK. This is just so horrible.

I'm glad you are ok, Inge, but this is such sad news. We so enjoyed our brief time in Belgium last summer, and it's always especially hard to stomach this kind of thing happening in a place one has visited and loved.

That said, it is distressing that American response to similar events in other places (Ivory Coast being the most recent) has been so subdued. The world needs more peace.

Inge I am so glad you and your family are well. I saw this post but hadn't had the opportunity to answer.
I confess that this , as unfair as it is for all the other nation that also have been suffering ,has really been hitting home.
I worried about my SIL when the Paris attack took place and this week I was thinking about my friends in Belgium.
Not so long ago I was at that airport and it is scary to think that I could have been there this time too.
I still believe in humanity and I hope that all this will make us understand that we have to work together to find Peace.
