It's such a terrible tragedy--just reading about it makes me tear up, and seeing the footage and comments from survivors makes a wreck. It's too terrible to contemplate, really, and I ache for those going through it.

But Aussies are a tough lot; and bless all of you, you have an absolutely indefatigable attitude and spirit. That is what will be remembered every bit as much as the horror of the fires.

Your own entry encouraged myself to express my own thoughts on the tragedy, for it is worth raising awareness to as many as possible. It's too terrible to contemplate. Exactly. Even for those who are practically state neighbors to where these fires are still burning. Your sympathy brings me to smile.

Such spirit is all these people have, in the end. Which brings much sorrow, to add. In this time of mass-adversity, there is strength in a communal heart. *hug* One hopes there will be relief and peace, soon.
