Coping

I was talking to my girlfriend on facebook chat last night and she was telling me how their family is coping witht the wrath of typhoon Ondoy. I told her that i have been going through my children's clothes and mine to prepare it and share it. I also have am including toys (though no one has announced the need for toys) because i feel the children in the refugees centers should have something to play with especially a lot of them have not been able to bring a single toy with them. I know what it would be like if the children are happy playing with the other kids, it might put back the smile on their yung faces again.

She said she is likewise coping with it by listening to her ipod to her favorite songs while cleaning the house from the muddy dirt, her father on the other hand takes comfort smoking his Rocky Patel cigars while salvaging what they can among their flooded furniture. I smile at the thought that we really try to get on with our life ... take control of the situation and help each other in any way we can. I know in no time we will all be looking back at this feeling proud of the brotherhood we all have for each other.
