I've been following the news and have also been in touch with close friends who had just moved to Christchurch a few weeks ago for a six month stint tied to the university. They are living close to the city centre. Like you and your family, thank God, they were not hurt or injured. <br />I cant imagine the post trauma everyone in Christchurch and area are feeling right now..... <br />My heart and prayers....

I am a Kiwi who lives in Queensland, Australia and have received a few emails from people saying that there will be big floods and cyclones about the same time because of the full moon. Now I don't know but it seems to be a bit of a malicious rumour because you didn't get an earthquake when we got a flood and vice versa. I am glad you and your family are fine!Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-57106537545860906172011-02-24T12:47:39.051+13:002011-02-24T12:47:39.051+13:00Thanks so much all of you It means a lot to meThanks so much all of you It means a lot to meMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-64681033163762779482011-02-24T08:56:52.800+13:002011-02-24T08:56:52.800+13:00You know Karen and I love you and yours very much....You know Karen and I love you and yours very much.

I am greatly relieved to know you are safe, but I do feel for those how have been lost, are injured, or missing (and of course their families are in my mind too).<br /><br />I will continue to pray for you and all in your region. Are you thinking of leaving New Zealand? Is that what you mean when you say your son wants to get out? I can understand that.

My heart bleeds for those folks who are not among those who have survived. I hope and pray that their grieving families find strength to cope in their loss.<br /><br />At the moment all I can see and hear on the various kinds of media is much devastation, pain and man's inhumanity to man; truly the world seems to be on a collision course, but we must never lose hope and faith that brighter days are ahead. I truly believe that, because God has never failed mankind yet. These are the testing times for us all not to sit on our laurels, but pick up the pieces with renewed determination and resolve. My plans for returning to NZ sometime soon with my son has not change; the delay in this matter hinges on the fact that I'm still in the process of completing the manuscript of my latest book. I cannot delay AuthorHouse any longer, so hopefully it will be out by early spring once I get the completed manuscript to the publisher by the end of February; I have only five days left.<br /><br />Take care my friendPaterika Hengreaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296611217840599396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-13656761915311274092011-02-24T02:01:08.727+13:002011-02-24T02:01:08.727+13:00in Rome Italy we have seen reports of this disaste...in Rome Italy we have seen reports of this disaster. <br /><br />sincere wishs to you and to all for a quick return to peace, to recovery and to comfort, Marja.jack senderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935449260703670377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-81845275641864375462011-02-24T01:28:50.104+13:002011-02-24T01:28:50.104+13:00I’ve been thinking about you, Marja, and all New Z...I’ve been thinking about you, Marja, and all New Zealanders in your area.
