You do have an engaging way of telling your story, especially as it was such an awful time.
It looks as though you have a journalist streak in you!

Good teachers getting you home as soon as possible, in these times it’s amazing how the heroes came to the front.

I used to have a little dog that did the same as your Grandad’s dog, what a pain that was! But with the earthquake the poor thing would be very upset not knowing what was going on.

I hope things have settled down for you now and that soon you and your family will be feeling more happy.
