Earthquake again.

Here we are one week from the great event! It was generally promulgated that there would be two minutes silence all over the country to remember the dead , support the bereaved and injured. Cars pulled over to the side of the road at 12.51pm , schoolkids stood outside their classrooms, Auckland's Aotea Square was packed and silent, Civil Defence HQ in Christchurch was the same. Some were sombrely holding flags in the 'down' position.
My grandson Jack has been visibly disturbed by the thought of all those deaths and the scenes of chaos on TV. He's not worried for himself, he's worried for the people affected. I've never seen a little person with such empathy with others.
The death toll is now 155 and some of the missing may never be identified, although most will be. Even funeral directors have come from other parts of the country to assist in dealing with the unprecedented influx of bodies.
Kia Kaha Christchurch.
