Earthquake

Mama Ann says:

I felt the tremors at home when the earthquake in Sichuan happened. I was in Tianjin, very very far away from the epicentre, and I felt it. It must have been very serious. We watched the news every morning and night, there were many pictures of children trapped under huge pillars, groaning for help in pain. Some of them held hands, giving each other support. Few were lucky enough to be saved.

Now that I'm a mother, I understand the pain of losing a child. Somemore these children are the only child in their extended family. There was a scene where a rescuer was asking a child of her condition, and she replied," both my arms and legs were broken". These pictures make me sad, and grateful that I am alive, and my family is alive.
