NZ mourns

We wanted to share how sad we are today at the loss of 29 men who died in the Pike River Mine explosion. We talked about it this morning and watched news coverage. It is so sad to think that all of those men won't be coming home. S.C said she couldn't imagine her dad not coming home. We have left a message to all the people in Greymouth and we hope that they can feel happy again some time soon. we have learnt what R.I.P means and we hope that those me do.
All of our love to Greymouth.
