Pam, min hustru, skrev et brev til min far i dag. Jeg vil lige dele et uddrag af brevet med jer som omhandler de frygtelige oversvømmelser vi har haft her i Filippinerne. Det er på Engelsk, det er meget smukt skrevet, og det passer:
"Soon, people will bounce back on track. We always do. I always tell Peter that Filipinos are very resilient. We are always badly hit by natural calamities and manmade disasters, corruption, bad governance, and the like---but we always rise from the fall, looking forward to waking up to another day---with a smile, and with the sincere hope that life goes on---and whether life brings sadness or happiness, we will face it and will continuously be thankful that the universe gives us air to breathe and beyond that, the opportunity to be alive."
Du kan se hvordan det så ud efter oversvømelserne her: http://www.amino.dk/blogs/peter-skouhus/archive/2009/09/27/flodding-i-manila.aspx
