Tonight I was watching the coverage of the tragedy in China on TV. While digging through the ruble of what used to be a school, A child was found still alive. Many parents rushed forward to see if it was their child. One man, who’s only child attends that school rushed towards the ambulance.

Though he could not see inside the ambulance, he was sure it was his son. One of the rescue workers grabbed him and hugged him. The weeping man hugged the worker and they embraced for a very long time. The rescue worker was comforting the man. The man clung to the worker because he was obviously in need of human touch to ease his grief. This scene choked me up and brought tears to my eyes.

What would any of us do if we were in that position? I can not begin to imagine the enormity of such grief and despair. My heart and prayers go out to the people of China who are trying to cope with such an enormous tragedy
