Tomorrow, the 10th of January, marks the one year anniversary of the terrible floods that swept through Toowoomba and the valley below. It devastated everything in its path, taking not only houses and cars, but people as well. Many families have suffered terribly from this tragic day. Some had to wait weeks before their loved one's were found and finally be put to rest. There are people, one year on, who are still trying to re-build their homes and their lives.
Tomorrow people will come together as one to remember and celebrate the lives lost on that tragic day.
We will not forget.
This is a good time to pause in memory of those who have suffered so horribly.
ReplyDeleteI will never forget trying to get a hold of my sister and there was no way we could. It forced our family into an emergency plan of contact. So hard when we live all over the world. Thoughts are with all at this time.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteHope they have been helped.
I remember that...I can't believe it has been a year already. ((((hugs)))

ReplyDeleteI remember how shocked I was hearing the news of the deaths. So very sad and traumatic for everybody.
ReplyDeleteMany are still struggling to rebuild.
Much love and prayers to everyone. We will never forget. *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your lovely comments. I can only begin to imaging how difficult it was for the people who were left behind or those who lost their houses.. dealing with their loss.
