China Earthquake - Sad News

The recent news about the man who was stuck under the slabs of concrete for 72 hours and his perseverance to live on for his expecting wife struck a bitter chord in me. It was heart wrenching that he could not be saved as he had some complications following the rescue. There has been so many natural disasters happening within a short span of time and the world saw many lives just been destroyed in China and Myanmar. It really woke me up to how blessed I am with my family here with. What can be done to make them happy and feel loved is to be done and said today for we will never know what tomorrow brings.

This is the YouTube video I was talking about. Perhaps it should be a lesson for everyone to wake up and think about the unfortunate.
