67,000 people dead in Asia ... and those who search and rescue and not even close to being done. The count is sure to rise. I cannot even wrap my mind around something as devastating as that.
It's so easy to be indifferent because this tragedy affects people on the other side of the world. Until a couple of days ago I would have butchered the definition of tsunami on a multiple choice test.
I was watching CNN a on Monday and they had a clip of a dad carrying his young son who had died in the tragedy. All I could do was hug my daughter ...

It has been so sad watching the news. Many people count themselves fortunate in that they have never had to endure a tragedy on such a wide scale, however i have two friends who very well may have been affected. A fellow student at UTMB is married to a man from Thailand, where all of his family still lives. Also a former coworker and friend here in LJ has all of her family, save her daughter and husband, in Bangladesh. For those who don't know, these are two coastal countries that were hit with some of the hardest. Please pray for these two families, as i know they are probably overcome with worry.
