A post was entered on Wednesday titled R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor.
Nothing wrong with that of course but I have just read that two more young lives have been unnecessarily lost in Afghanistan.
It makes one wonder if we have our priorities right, on one hand a 79 year old actress dies of natural causes, and on the other hand two young lives have been cut short only one week before they due to return home to their loved ones, yet I don't suppose anyone would have left a tribute to these two Irish Guards, if I hadn't bothered.
It make one think, or at least it should.
My heart felt feelings go out to their families and friends, and may these brave boys rest in peace.
