For three days the tower
will be illuminated
in the colors of the French flag.
The words..
"Fluctuat nec mergitur"
are projected onto the tower as well.
Taken from the Paris coat of arms,
it translates to..
"she is tossed by the waves,
but does not sink".
Hannah went out with a friend
last night,
in the wind and rain,
to take the picture above.
I want to thank everyone
that has emailed,
sent messages and left
comments regarding
our safety.
It has meant so much
to me that
you have reached out.
We are safe..
still very much in shock
but safe.
Some have asked if
we want to go home.
Over the past 22 years,
we have called many
different places home.
Paris is home now
and we love this city.
Vive la France!
Blessings to you all, Pam.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for your safety, and prayers for all.
meme pas peur!
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard about the attacks last week, I grabbed my tablet and checked Instagram to see if you were okay! So glad you're safe. We live in scary times, no matter where in world we call home...we just have to keep on keeping on!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that you are all safe.!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you guys are safe. I've been thinking of you. Hugs-
ReplyDeleteI keep checking for an update. Thank you so much for this post! Praying for your family and the rest of France. (and the rest of the world, as well)
ReplyDeleteNice to see a new post form you...
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention in your last paragraph about being asked about wanting to come home. I thought at first wonder if they are considering coming back to the us but then I thought Paris is their home why would they come back.
Pam, it was via our facebook friendship that alerted me to the attack. I was in my office at the clinic, and all of a sudden my phone started lighting up with . . . "I hope you are ok . . . Praying all is well . . .Support and prayers. I was relieved to read your reassurance to your family and friends. I immediately went out into the waiting room and flipped the to the news, to find such sadness once again. I loved the "Safety Check" app! Living in Paris is the chance of a lifetime. So far I have been very impressed with President Hollande's directives. I truly believe he will do his best to keep you all safe. I believe his efforts are keeping us a little safer here in your homeland as well.
ReplyDeleteI will not be terrorized!
Vive la France!
