Last night I cried

Did anyone see the programe on TV last night Surviving Disaster?I watched it last week about the rescue of the Russian submarine. Last nights programme,however evoked some memorys .It was about the Manchester air disaster ,in 1958 the plane crashed ,killing 23 passengers,including eight members of the Manchester United football team ,and many others seriously injured ,I worked in Corby at that time and traveled to and fro by bus ,as did a few other  fellow villagers, I can remember sitting behind a man on the bus ,as we came home from work ,and catching sight of the headlines on the paper he was reading ,over his shoulder ,I read  the chilling news ,I tapped his shoulder and enquired ,"Whats that Wally ?"he turned and I saw the tears in his eyes !yes this news ,I saw many men cry ,over the next few days . I remember my boyfriend ,(later to become my husband ) Mick not due to see me that night ,but came over to see me ,he was very upset as was my Dad .During the next few days we watched the papers ,for updates of  our heros .The great Matt Busby ,was'nt expected to survive ,but did ,My own dear Grandson Matthew ,was named for this man ,(Kate and Martins older boy).

The years have passed and ,you forget ,then it comes up again ,When my daughter Kate started going out with Martin ,he was /is a very keen Man U supporter,like his Dad ,I found the news paper,which had some how survived the years,Igave it to Martin  who was delighted to add it to his collection of Man U treasures .So yes last night I cried for the people who died ,and for the time it took me back to ............. 

Manchester Manchesteeer United ,the're a bunch of bubbling Busby babes ,They deserve to be knighted !

The sun is shining here ,after rain and wind last night ,Have a good day folks                       Jan xx
