March 15th 2019 will always be remembered here as a day of sorrow in the wake of the mosque shootings in Christchurch. Fifty lives taken as they went about their peaceful practice of prayer.
Hopefully it will unite all New Zealanders even more as they stand in solidarity with the Muslims who call New Zealand home.
Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has vowed to change our gun laws to no longer allow semi automatic weapons and to tighten gun ownership regulations.
We are a peaceful country so this is unexpected and shocks us all to the core.
Kia Kaha - stay strong
Arohanui - great love 💓

Oh Anne, I just can’t believe such an horrific, senseless act has occurred yet again! And so close to home!!! My heart aches for the Muslim community and everyone else affected by this hideous crime. It’s just so wrong, and the World is so wrong sometimes! Words just fail me. Sending New Zealand and all it’s citizens so much love 💕 from all your cousins across the ditch ❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl.
DeleteSo sad and so horrible. Just a few years ago it would have been unthinkable. My heart goes out to your country.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia. Out of that terrible event has come a lot of love and support for the Muslim community here - it has been lovely to see.
