Prayers for those trapped miners

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Heard the same on the news over here........can't imagine what those poor families are going through to go from elation to despair in such a short space of time. Sending prayers to everyone caught up in this tragedy

I stayed up late enough last night to see the good news . . . THEY'RE ALIVE, THEY'RE ALIVE . . . I was so happy, I could hardly sleep. I lay awake for hours thinking about them, their families . . . thanking God for sparing their lives. Then I woke this morning to the horrible and tragic news.

All but 1 DEAD.

OMG.

I am completely in shock.

This hits sooooo close to home. Literally hours from home. Mining is all around here . . . a big part of KY & WV . . . just a way of life.

I just hate that this has happened . . . I hate that these families have had to endure this roller coaster ride . . . and I feel that the media circus has not helped matters.

Prayers for the families.

What a horrible thing the families are going through. From joy to such sadness! I just can't imagine what that would be like. My prayers are going out to these families. I just feel so bad for them. They were so happy for such a short time, and then to hear such bad news and be let down like a ton of bricks like that! Just awful, awful.

I will be praying for these families.

How terrible. My sympathies to those families.

My heart and prayers go out to the families. What a tragedy - to go from such excitement to such disappointment. I kept hoping for a miracle, since the same thing happened in PA a few years ago and every single miner came out alive.

I was hoping also, Jen. Why couldn't they have found out if it were true before letting the miner's families know?? To me this was inexcusable.
