I'm sure we have all heard the terrible news of the earthquake in Nepal, and the terrible destruction and death that followed. I believe it's hard for those of us who have never lived through any type of terror or disaster to even begin to know what they are going through.
Then for someone there to find out that their children are dead on top of the misery of losing everything, must be unspeakable, and make it hard for anyone to find life bearable. One woman was given a gift of a miracle, when her baby boy and young daughter were found alive in her collapsed apartment building.
I've seen pictures of the building, and I have no idea how they survived, since everything was dust and rubble. It's a miracle, and I love miracles.
Something similar happened during the 1985 earthquake when four newborn babies survived for seven days without food and water, and no one knows how such a miracle happened. As the world watched such sadness beyond what anyone could bear--those babies brought such hope and happiness into the lives of everyone. I could not find the video, but I looked up a news story from thirty years ago, and the link is below along with the video of the Nepal miracle baby.
To make matters even harder is the fact that Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and
I know any donations will be welcomed. Here is a link from an article for Time Magazine showing the ways to donate: http://time.com/3836242/nepal-earthquake-donations-disaster-relief/
We should always be thankful for everyone in our lives and never take them for granted.
