I sat transfixed as scenes of absolute devastation streamed from the television. Tears flowed unchecked. I still can't comprehend the sheer size of the catastrophe. One friend and his family have posted on Facebook that they are safe; without home, power, or water and stunned but safe. Thank goodness.
Still waiting to hear about other friends and family. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this awful thing...it's just not fair.
It's heartening though to see the swift response that Australia has made in sending assistance. Like siblings in some huge global family Kiwis and Aussies may jostle and prod each other during good times but as soon as the day darkens we are there for each other.
It truly was a dark day for New Zealand yesterday.
