Thanks for all who have been such a support group to me - Beginning on Tuesday in Chat it was a sort of shell-shocked news group... as reality emerged, it was a tangible collection of friends who shared shock and disbelief... as fear for my son in Saudi sank in, it was a group of loving, supporting friends to share my thrill at hearing from him and my gut-wrenching fear for what he faces.

We have shared fears, strategies, personal lives and how our future will now change.. and real friendships were forged in the process.

I have kept Chat open or minimized for almost a week. I cannot begin to express what this has meant to me.. Thank you my FT friends..
