It's storm signal no.1 AGAIN in Benguet! It was the latest update about the storm Ramil at 7:00pm today. When we've hardly breathe and recovered yet after the devastation brought by Ondoy and Pepeng, here comes another storm again. I know my kids and I are safe at home, and we were fortunate enough to be unaffected by flood and landslides during the storm surge of typhoon Pepeng. But we were not left unperturbed...the thought of another storm coming that may result to more damages and destruction to lives and property is already ghastly.
My kids, like any other kids with television, have seen the devastating effect of the two recent typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. And the latter was very much felt here in Baguio. This brought us to just keep praying, asking dear God to stay amongst us and to those who were affected. Now that there is a threat of another typhoon, I remembered my seven-year old son's prayer which he wrote one of those stormy nights. I thought I'd share it here. The prayer was short and so simple but I was touched at how sincere his prayer was for those who were affected, for his father (who was at that time busy rescuing), and for us at home.
My son's letter to God. He wrote it during one of the stormy Pepeng days. It says:
Lord, please let those who were flooded be saved and be given food. I hope that the typhoon will already leave so that nobody will die anymore. I hope that Papa is safe at his work and may we be safe here too. Amen.
