I hope the wind blows towards our house tomorrow...

Sebastien: "At school tomorrow we are a minute silence, and then we will be having helium balloons with prayers inside them, and we are going to let them off at the time of the earthquake, and they will float up into the sky a bit, and then come down - we are using special helium so they don't go too far away - and that will lift people up, or something. So I hope the wind blows towards our house tomorrow..."
Sigh, so sweet and so innocent.
I could do with one of those balloons as I'll need some "lifting up" tomorrow. I didn't think it would be hard to live through tomorrow, but as I was going thru some photos and blog posts (still trying to sort out our contents insurance claim) I felt quite sad seeing what it was like. It is so easy to just live day to day (especially now that we have a toilet) that I forget how awful it was.

About Me

Our family of 5 currently lives in Christchurch, New Zealand. I love being here because of the weather, the clean water, Dad living 5 minutes from us, and our Ward. I miss my friends and family overseas and invite you all to come here for a holiday!
