Good morning Dear!
Somehow, I feel as if I need to be in mourning.
This is so devastating.......... and I know there is life to be lived, but I am sad for the families of these islands.
You managed to put into words exactly how I'm feeling. Like everyone else, I've been so wrapped up in the coverage and the pictures and the enormous scope of it all, that I haven't been able to think about anything else, let alone celebrate the New Year. Though the circumstances are very different from 9/11, the gut wrenching feelings in the aftermath are very much the same.
I am sad,too..May God comfort those who mourn.
