In memory of my Burmese.
Cyclone Nargis (JTWC designation: 01B, also known as Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Nargis) was a strong tropical cyclone that caused the worst natural disaster in the recorded history of Burma.The cyclone made landfall in Burma on Friday, May 2, 2008, causing catastrophic destruction and at least 138,000 fatalities.

138,000 died in a few hours. Can you imagine?
I can’t find a proper word for it, because “frightening” would be far too little.
We had here only a few serious storms ever, so I cannot imagine and… I don’t want to imagine.
When I think of that huge number of lifes taken by this monster in a few minutes…
It’s not fair, is it?
Bye.

What I could only do now is ‘missing my Burmese’.
Oh, hell.
How we suffered.
If you don’t know what suffering means, ask a Burmese.
Oh, My God!
D R E A D F U L !
Hard to see such images… so many people died like that! they didn’t have any chance!
We can be smart, sofisticated, rich, poor, whatever, but nothing matters when the nature is against us. We can see how little and helpless we are.
…and still, life goes on!
Yes,
The truth of life. We must go on.
Even with broken hearts.
Dear Mr. Kyaw,
I can’t find words to express what I feel. My eyes filled with tears, I am shivering.I finish writing because there isn’t word to describe this terrible ache. What a horror of horrors can people survive! MY GOD! PEACE TO THEIR REMAINS.
Thank you my lady,
I wouldn’t dare to state the photos if I didn’t see the Sandy incident on the news. I was forced to recall our incident in 2008.
I just wanted to say I miss them.
And I hope they are now in a good life as well.
The survivors have to go on without hope, but with ever lasting pains deep in the hearts…
my kind regards to you.
I know Sandy is not less severe than the one we experienced.
Hello Mr. Kyaw,
If I had known I would have said in this way.
.
I felt something similar and I went to bed and I was crying from the sadness. As my daughter lives in the US I was watching pictures but they were not heartbreaking than these ones. To see deed children it is unbearable for me.

My lady,
Most of them lived in coastal towns and villages.
When the knew the tidal waves was rushing in, they tied themselves to the branches of the coconut palm trees and to whichever things on wherever higher grounds.
But the killer waves were so strong and so high more than 30 foot palm trees, and hours longer than expected, they only had to yield themselves to the death.
I think I should stop here.
I hope they are happy and healthy in their new lives now.
kind regards.
Dear Mr. Kyaw,
You can say that I see before my eyes the whole. Now there is Skype session and I am unable to participate in it because I cope with crying. I went to bed after watching the Burmese cyclone’s pictures and I have to go back in my bed.
I put a picture of Sandy hurricane on the previous page because among the terrible pictures this was most shocking for me. I can’t describe that terrible state what this young woman had to support. I think she couldn’t grasp what happened with them.
She is so much lonely and helpless.
Regards.
