Swept from father's arms by Julia F

In the Philippines, a terrible storm hit and 
Marvin Isanan said three of his daughters ages 8, 13 and 15 were swept from his arms by the storm surge. He and his wife, Loretta Isanan, had found the bodies of the two younger children."Only the eldest one is missing," Marvin Isanan said through tears. "I hope she's alive."A woman at the airport said she escaped the water by climbing onto her roof. From there, she watched bodies float by.

This is so sad. I can't believe and I dont want to believe what it would feel like to lose such loved ones. So tragic.

  1. It's so tragic that this region has to deal with these disasters. Floods and storms seem to hit routinely, and devastate so many families each time. I just hope that the victims are continually helped, and the rest if the world can keep supporting them through these hard times.
