God bless the Philippines
So I’m not the most patriotic person on the planet but I do love my country and people and culture.
It breaks my heart seeing my country get destroyed by Bagyong Ondoy on the news.
It breaks my heart every time I see an elderly helpless, cold and frightened amidst the flood. (And old people have a very special place in my heart!)
It breaks my heart seeing families torn apart, homes destroyed.
Survivors, not being able to rejoice because they are dead inside; they survived, their families did not. They have no more home to go to, no more belongings.
And here I am, safely housed in our apartment in Dubai, far from the chaos.
I just want to fly there and hug every single one of the victims and give them blankets to cuddle in and food to eat.
*sigh*
I hope this ends soon.
