Watching it on channel 4 now and it is really heartbreaking - not afraid to admit I have tears in my eyes watching people fight for their lives

God bless them

so sad Jessie....isn't it. It was heartbreaking at the time...no less so now. Those poor people. Some of them didn't stand a chance. They just didn't have a clue what was going to happen/happening to them.!

So sorry to hear that Lynda. I hope the only reason that you haven't heard is because they lost your address in the Tsunami and that's all. However, so many lives were devastated and turned upside down that day.

Jessie, we noted how everyone seemed so together until they talked about what happened when the Tsunami struck. When they talked about their little Isabella it was just heartbreaking. They've gone on to do such good work in her name.
