Earthquakes, Cyclones and Tornadoes 5/15/08

I'm greatly saddened by the enormity of the losses, and pain, that people are suffering all around the World. I feel a sense of closeness to the Chinese people, as our hearts have been so engrossed in this adoption. To think that our child is injured, scared or hungry is beyond my comprehension. Not knowing our child at this point (no referral as of yet), seems easier to me, than those that have just received their referral, or are waiting with baited breath to travel. To live here and witness the devastation halfway around the world, AND, know that your child is just beyond your grasp..... before when it was resonably safe was one thing, but now, with the travesties, loss of life, and uncertainties......... it's completely incomprehensible to me.

My heart bleeds for everyone waiting to pick up their child.......... my mind reels with painful frightening possibilities for the safety of everyone..........

Then there's the cyclone ravaged Myanmar. These people not only suffered Mother Natures indignations...... now they are at the mercy of their closeminded paranoid Government. How many will die from pure neglect, lack of supplies, basic necessities of food and water?

Our own fellow citizens here in the U.S. too are suffering from all of the storms in the midwest as of late, it's so very sad. Very, VERY sad................ makes me want to hug and squeeze my family even more, right this very minute.

Sorry for the spelling errors........... just too darn lazy to look things up, is there a spell check attached to this blogger site??????????????????

If you're reading this, and if you're safe, and resonably happy, even if you're unhappy.......... please be thankful.......... things can always get worse. Your World as you know it right this very minute, could be ripped out from under you, and we all need to be thankful. Okay........ off my soapbox.
