Sometimes in a catastrophie such as last week’s London bombings when the event is over the agonies continue unabated, the grief is not even slightly eased by time — because some families have absolutely no closure.
Just look at this list of the missing in London, and you see a cross-section of Great Britain….a group containing many ages, sexes and ethicities. All people who were simply living their lives on a “normal” day when they fell into the agenda of people who enjoy killing the innocent to drive up body counts to illustrate the messge of death and terror.
Will they be found?
And the bigger question: will they be avenged?
