gomichild, absolutely. As a mother it is quite easy to relate to that. I can only imagine the desperation and terror she must have felt. I'd move heaven and earth to reach my children in such situations. God-forbid I should ever have to experience that.
So frustrating trying to watch the streaming video....I was one of how many million trying to watch it at work? A good day for all of us. I've particularly enjoyed watching the rest of the world's reaction.
....on the acid note; whenever I've dropped I've seen everything in fractals. It's truly the most amazing thing.
Thanks, homunculus, for your never-ending capacity to give good 'post'.
I over heard my son asking my daughter what that "loud sound" was (lived near a military base) and she said "God farted". I about collapsed with laughter. They were so little, so adorable, and wondrous to eavesdrop on.
I'm still struggling to wrap my head around this. I find myself re-thinking about, or questioning what/why I am seeing at any moment, differently. I just have so many questions about this.....
That picture of all the photographers lined up recording the whole thing is.....weird. While I appreciate access to information it makes me a bit uncomfortable to see throngs of media converge wherever something like this is happening. Recording death as it happens. Recording our reactions to it. Recording each other recording it. It is all so very weird to me.
Heartbreaking. I hope it feels like the whole world is coming together to wrap Christchurch in supportive arms as you all recover from this!
