national.mourning.day

yesterday the dutch government declared today as the mourning day as the first batch of the victim's bodies will arrive in the country at 4pm today.
my heart is heavy, saddened as this tragedy has happened to two of the closest countries in my life.  my adopted land (the victims) and my home country (the national carriage and the crew)
my prayers and thoughts are with the friends and families of the victims. may the Lord rest the souls of the victims and comfort the friends and families who have lost their loved ones in the tragedy of mh17.
