Thinking of those over there. :-( Of all the sadness there was an article this morning that a young girl gave birth among the ruins/rubble. Both mom and baby are doing well. Mom named her daughter after her mother that went missing. So sad. Happily, the baby survived. The woman's husband was at the birth so luckily this young family is together.

Your compassionate remarks are very much appreciated. I was born and raised in the Philippines and seeing the devastation and suffering is hard to bear.

What makes it harder to bear is that these people are not only victims of a natural disaster, but also victims of a 'man made' disaster.

This is absolutely awful - exponentially tougher than the worst storm I have ever seen or hope to see, the devastation is awful.

Thoughts * Prayers
