Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes…
I just don’t remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.

John and Heather have struggled to return to normal life since the event, and have said they don’t think they’ll be able to for some time. They’re making do in a small spare room at the back of the house.

How can you stop something like that from happening again? It can happen to anyone. We keeping finding shards of glass in our fingers. You don’t know until it’s in your hands.”
The pair spent Sunday morning in church as usual, but this time it was even more poignant.
“We honestly believe God was looking after us,” John said. “An hour earlier and we’d have been dead. I’m not being dramatic there. With everything that came through the window, we couldn’t have survived that.”
