I was born in Sri Lanka and seeing my homeland destroyed like this is horrible.
My family that is still there luckily have all been accounted for, although one of mums cousins they still haven't heard from so they are still hopefull to hear from them soon although the longer it goes the worse the result will probably be.
I've tried to shut myself out from this now, it just makes me cry everytime i hear about parents losing kids, especially when the kids are the age of mine, i had to hug my kids and just held em tight my eldest saw me crying and just said it's ok dad don't worry, if only he could understand what happened, actually i'm glad that he can't, now when it's time for the news i just put on a tape or dvd for the kids.
I don't want to see tis anymore it just leaves me feeling empty inside.
