I was saddened by the events in Italy, as we are once again reminded of how fragile we are. For every earthquake and Tsunami Mother Earth throws our way, there are brave and amazing stories of rescue and heroism. I have a fear of small, cramped places, but not a fear of heights – so you can imagine where I’ve been and where I haven’t in rescuing animals, for example.

Have you a special story about a child falling down a well, a fire, a flood or a snowstorm? I love these stories, and with the flutherites talent of writing, i am sure they will be a great read.
