Looks terrible over there. Everyone is in our prayers, especially those from our Watch family. |G
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Well thank goodness those who survived did..be they Watchers or not. In all reality..every day, the inhabitants of Christchurch area should have given much thanks for being alive. The town is built on top of a huge sand pit. It don't take much to bring down what is built on sand. Hey, the folks living in central USA..St Louis and up and down the Mississippi from there..same deal there. A big sand trap with a lot of folks living on top of it. Everyday they wake up alive they should be giving thanks. Its only a matter of when,, things shake rattle and roll.

Hi all. I thought I'd drop by and thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and kind words.

I have no family in Christchurch, which is good, and all my friends are accounted for and well. My flat will likely get red stickered however, so we took everything of value out before we left. I'm now in Auckland, where I'll probably be living for at least two months so I can work out of our Auckland office.

The main thing though is all those I care about are ok. It's just so sad that not everyone can say the same. :(
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.
