I am so very touched by the stories I am hearing about the tsunami victims that I find myself tearing up a lot lately. I just heard that the villagers who have been devastated by the horrible tsunami came together to save stranded dolphins. The dolphins were washed inland to a pond and the villagers/people pulled together and brought one back out to sea. I find this amazing as for as much devastation as these people are feeling...death, no food, no clean water, no house....they are rescuing stranded animals.
It just chokes me up. I am just so...so upset and saddened by the stories and footage I see. A 21 day old baby found alive and fine...his parents dead. How in creation did this baby make it and the parents didn't? Fortunately for this little babe, he'll have no memory of the "big wave" or losing his parents but I am sure the stories he will learn years from now will effect him for life. It is very hard for me to watch these things. Isn't it sad that we sit and complain about small things when all of this is going on? It's all about perspective. I'm gaining it every day.
