Incident in Melksham

I don't often write too much personal family stuff here. I love and care for - very much - all my folks but I also respect their privacy and so I don't shout about them too loudly and proudly even though in my heart I might like to.

However, I'm making a brief exception here. Have a look at this story in the local paper - Wiltshire Times Article. One of the victims in the third incident described was my daughter's partner, and he was left unconscious on the ground, needing to be hospitalised. He looks a bit of a mess, and is now recovering at home. No significant long term effect, I understand - thank goodness. As part of his job, working in the town until late at night, Tom is often around at hours that most of us are tucked safely up in bed - gentle, but aware of some of the violent streaks around.

Our hearts and support are with the four who were involved in the incident, and with those in the other incidents too. We're around to help in any way you can, though it does seem that a few words such as these and time will be the best healers.
