Alan & Hanna

[somebody]

Arthur - what a wonderful thought from you! Hanna and I express our thanks and gratitude for this sentiment.

The latest is that Robert, Hanna's brother who owns the house, returned from a 2 year contract in Thailand earlier this year with a (fairly) healthy bank account and was thus able to buy, for the first time, a fridge, a TV, a 3 piece suite etc... in fact, all the things that they had only previously dreamed of.

Last Saturday, all those things were destroyed in the flood, as well as his new car, bought 'on the drip' (if you'll pardon the pun.)

All his hard work has now gone 'down the drain' as it were!

I only wish that could help him, his wife and 3 kids - but, if you read my threads, particularly around May/June 2008 - you will realise why I can't.

However, at least he and his family are still safe - the main thing! There is, of course, a massive 'rebuilding' effort taking place in Metro Manila at the moment and Hanna and I are keeping very close tabs on events.

Bless you again Arthur for your thoughts.

Al.

Sometimes life is just not fair I cant even imagine how Hannas Brother feels about this situation. But like you say thankfully they all have there good health and one another.

The Phills like many countrys outside of the affulent west have a can fix anything approach still. So hopefully things may not be as bad once things settle down
