Queens Day horror

Today is Queens day in my country of origin. It's a special day where we celebrate the birthday of the Queen. There are parades, flags everywhere and everyone wears orange, our national color. There are tons of things to do for kids, there's a free market everywhere.

I remember when I was little, we would decorate our bikes and scooters,red white and blue and tons of orange ! it's a big national holiday, where everyone celebrates and is one big family.

Being far from home, as i was in the gym this morning, I remember thinking how my family surely was having a good time and I was hoping for good weather for them without rain and plenty of sunshine.

It was beautiful weather, but unfortunately a derailed man plowed his car into the hundreds of people lining the road, waiting for the royal family to pass by.
Many people were injured and 5 people were killed.

Queens day will never be the same....................because of the senseless action of one person.

My prayers are for the victims and their families.
