Pray for the souls in China and Winner of American Idol

To feel so helpless;


I try not to keep track of news concerning the earthquake in China. Not because i choose to be heartless, on contrary, it breaks too much of my heart. I have this outrageous and consistent urge to join the rescue teams and do whatever it takes to make it easier on those people. Hell, i want to get to the bottom of the fucking rubbles and bleed like an idiot trying to dig survivors out. If i didn't have any responsibilities, i would sign up in a heartbeat.

There was one particular story out of many that made me want to weep. A woman was found under a collapsed building, lifeless. When the rescuers finally managed to get to her, they found a baby boy bundled in a blanket underneath her body. Fortunately, he was simply sleeping and still alive. His mother, out of the most amazing ability to love and protect, managed to save him. And beside him laid a cellphone, with a text message telling him that if he managed to live through the disaster, that she loved him.

Bless her spirit and thank god for the baby's amazing survival. What a heroic legacy she left. And i would never hesitate to do the same. As any mother would die to protect what is most precious to them.

I pray for all that had perished in such a painful tragedy. And i pray for those still fighting for their lives. And most of all, for those missing to finally be found. I wish i could be there to lend every strength i have to those who need it. Sadly, i can only close my eyes and wish for the impossible; that it had never occured at all. I pray for all.
