Carl:
Hi Micheal.  Yesterday I took the time to look through hundreds of photos regarding the quake.  It amazes me that the people are so resilient. The hardest photos to see were the ones of parents grieving over the bodies of their children... that hurts to even see those photos... I cannot imagine the pain those parents suffered.  My heart goes out to them.

Martin:
Carl....what are your feelings for this girl?  Is there a chance that you could win her parents over?  You could possibly send gifts to them...or even write a letter to them.  It is just a thought.  I am not saying it will work, but maybe it is worth the fight.

MLM:
When we were there, I heard a little girl ask a doctor if he could put her leg back on because she wanted to be able to help her Mama when she is older, the little girl didn't know I helped put her Mama in a body bag not 10 minutes earlier, when the doctor told her about her Mama she said she wanted to help the other kids, this was the bravest thing I have ever seen or heard in my life, and it made me feel very proud for this little one and at the same time sad, I still dream of her and I still have nightmares of that time, I don't think I will ever forget.

Paul Todd:
Michael,
I feel for you my friend, I've seen similar things.I made it into Cambodia just after the Vietnamese ousted pol pot and also the Karen refugee camps in Burma.They are a fine people, the Karen.
The best advice I  was given is that you absolutely should not forget theses things. You were a "witness" to tragedy and hope, it's a rare insight and it cuts deep.Changes a man. It's your job now to tell other people about this. The telling give honour,respect and remembrance  to those involved,as well as bringing us all closer together regardless of race or religion. If you don't talk about this who will ever know? How many people saw the bravery of that little girl? I think you will have moved a few hearts here with the telling, and it makes us all a little more human. That's a positive thing!

Arnold:
Michael , I feel with you . I love China and it's People . I also was in Shanghai (07 May to 18 May ) when it happened , but did not feel it physically , but I am sure felt it in my Heart . It still can bring me to tears , thinking of those poor children and what the Parent's had to deal with then and still are . What is worse , loose a child of your's or a child loose a parent / parent's ? There is NO hurt deeper than this . And of course the way it came to be , because of sloopy building practises .
Aweful !!! Will Mankind ever learn , before somebody has to Die ?
