listening to BBC radio 2 for the last few hours

The amount of love from people ringing in from throughout the world, most of which knew before we did about Manchester made my broken heart feel so much better. In the middle of the night the people of Manchester opened their doors to complete strangers caught up in this horrific situation this doesn't surprise me at all, I've witnessed the love that the people of Manchester can show in horrific times.
Lots of love to anyone affected

I'm proud of the people from my city. I know, from daily life, how open and friendly people are here, but when there's an emergency like this, it's heartening how many people offer beds to strangers, or head out in their cars to see if anyone needs a lift. Credit to from the taxi drivers from Liverpool too who drove in just to see if they could give people free lifts back to Liverpool.

@GlassDog: Aww bless them, I lived in Fallowfield for a few years at the time of the last bombing. I wasn't there when that scum burned down Manchester dogs home, but watched the community on tv running to get dogs and taking them into their houses.
It's a beautiful City

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Thank you. I'm not far away from the scene, but am completely fine. Two of my nieces were there last night and I heard not long ago that they are shaken up but physically fine too. It's very sad that not everyone will be getting good news this morning.

@GlassDog: You were one of the first people to come to my mind when I heard this. I don't even know what to say, I'm so stunned.
I am glad your nieces are fine.

@ajoite: The fire at the dogs home was so shocking. I know a couple of people who took dogs in, although it was sad that so many still died. I sometimes take our generosity for granted and am surprised when it is lacking in other cities.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Yeah, I'm not sure, either. Things are surreal here. I'm heading to work in a few minutes and I'm trying to prepare myself that one of my colleagues may be missing, or may have lost a family member.
