00:06events for children and families and for that to happen where I was and for the

00:11words I spoke and the children spoke, for that to be trampled over has just

00:17really dampened all of our spirits really. Feeling unsafe, feeling like we

00:23just lost faith in the world really. I tried to resemble it was being

00:27connected by an invisible piece of string. We're all connected in the most

00:31horrible way. Sometimes that string will fray and tangle and knot but at the best

00:35of times it will wrap together and it's brought a lot of us closer, creating

00:38kindness and warmth and it's created a strong force that almost we couldn't

00:45been a lot of love come from Southport, a lot of love come from all over the world
