Yesterday was the one week remembrance of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, it claim many lives and caused hectic chaos to the people of Christchurch, people of New Zealand and to the people of the world. This tragedy brought the city and the nation great sadness, not only were there a tremendous number of people died (154, expected death toll: 200+) but there was also buildings, houses, monuments and symbolic Christchurch structures were destroyed in this disaster. one week on some Christchurch residents are still left stranded with out telecommunication, electricity and running water. I will be praying for the people who were affected in this tragedy. To the people who lost loved ones or close friends I am feeling the pain and my thoughts are with you guys! And to the people that are still at missing or waiting to be rescued, I hope that rescue teams reach you ASAP!
This has been a sad week for all New Zealanders. We as a nation can get through this and rebuild for the future! Hope is a good thing, hope never dies, it is what keeps us alive and gets us through the toughest of situations.
It is great to see that some of us do have hope of restarting.
Lets hope that this is not a sign telling use that the world is coming to an end.
