Marysville Update
Well, by now those of you who have seen the news will have seen what has actually happened to Marysville (and if you watched the ABC news last night you would have seen Parent).
Parent is still up in Alexandra, although she hopes to get back down here by sometime today - they find out more at a meeting at lunchtime. Mike (Nat's brother) is now over here with us.
Again I'd like to thank all of those who've made offers of support for Parent, it's amazing to see how many people care for her so deeply. The only thing I can say is thank you & to ask that people keep in touch with Parent over the wee while as, although she has been inundated with offers now, she will very likely need the help is in the months to come.
Marysville has two people confirmed dead & another 3 believed to be dead. From what I understand they were not people immediately close to Parent, however Marysville is such a small community that undoubtedly someone Parent cares about deeply will be directly effected by the loss of lives.
On a personal level, my thoughts & best wishes go out to all those still dealing with the bushfires, be it those in threatened townships or those CFA Volunteers trying to protect them.
