I am grateful that my son and family live in south Australia which is 4000 km away from this terrible tragedy

I can't imagine what it must be like to struggle with the massive flooding and then having something like this happen. It must be so demoralizing.

Difficult times indeed for our Aussie friends. They are in my thoughts as well.
