Hi,

I will be in Madrid during the weekend of 19,20,21st March...

There will certainly be an unusual atmosphere in my beloved and hurt city...

I'm going to light a candle for all the (more of) 200 innocents dead on 11-M and I will do it with a message that has always been in any Italian person's heart, because of common origins, habits, lifestyle, language root and so on:

"Cada vez que un Espa�ol encuentra a un Italiano,
en cualquiera parte del mundo,
encuentra a un hermano y amigo..."


Hala Madrid !


El camino hacia el éxito es largo, recórrelo con nosotros...<br />HALA MADRID !

Hi jer and madrilenos:
Just my thoughts on current events.
I think it is very unfortunate that terrorism was able to affect the outcome of Spains election and I believe civilization will pay globally and substantially in the future due to the message this sends. Having said that, I would like to express my deepest condolences to all of you who lost loved ones on 3-11 in the town I grew up in as I said in my original post . I also believe Spain will recover from the shock and fear; but at least for many, never the sense of loss and grief from this tragic day which is so similiar to our own 9-11-2001. Although I normally don't comment on matters of faith these passages seem to jump out at me regarding 9-11 and 3-11 so excuse me if I feel compelled to share them with you:

Psalm 44 25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love.

"Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades (Revelation 1.17-18)"

This morning I went to Atocha to leave a candle and pay my respects. Many of my friends live in the neighborhoods affected and have lost friends and loved ones. While I was there Telemadrid interviewed me. Of course they caught me RIGHT at the moment when I was about to cry and had no idea what to say. They asked me why I came. Why WOULDN�T someone who lives in Madrid go to visit the memorials and pay their respects today? I feel everyone should. It�s a tragedy we all lived, whether we were on that train or not. It was against us, the people of Madrid, and we owe it to our neighbors to honor their families. I think.

Melinda
