For the souls of those lost in Asia and the families that will have to continue living without them.

yeah, well said. it really bought it into reality for me when i looked at the front page headline on The Express newspaer here in englnd. it had a picture of a 3 year old kid, and the word ' orphaned'. both his parents were killed, no-one even knows his name, my thoughts go out to eveeryone involved and effected.

Amazing how we take things for granted. "G-d Bless" them all.

I was busy trying to explain to my daughter this morning there are bigger issues in the world right now than her missing gameboy game case. That will be found and can easily be replaced. Other things cannot. My thoughts are with those there and those that have friends and family there.
