I bet that even though your Mummy was squeezing you tight, it was the best hug you have ever had, especially being as frightened and worried as you were that day.
I know it has all been a very long and sad time for you – I saw it when I came down to help the Christchurch people for a couple of weeks. But you are absolutely right when you say “all that matters is we are alive”. You sound like a very big and very brave boy. And as Aaron says in his comments, Christchurch will get better. Well done buddy!!

That story is so sad at such a young age and i hope that you and your family are okay and will get throgh this experience. You must have had a lot of braveness to cope with this horid experience. A huge pat on the back to you and i hope that Christchurch will get better.
From Aaran

Wow… when you saw the rocks falling I can imagine that was pretty frightening and I am so glad you are all safe.

Dad would have been so pleased to see you when he came to pick you up. And what a long time to get to Mummy, what a great feeling to see each other again, did you ache after your Mum squeezed you so hard?

I have seen some of the mess in Christchurch on the TV and it is sad to see, but you are very, very right… you are alive and with your family. A big Hooray!

All the very best to you and your family, take great care of yourself, you are a courageous person and Canterbury needs you.
