More Quotes from Daniel Pearson:
And it's different than the tsunami in Asia, where the disaster was half a world away. This time it's so close to home. It's affecting a place that many of us have visited and are familiar with. Some of us know people who live there or have relatives in the region. It's much harder to separate ourselves from this.Daniel Pearson
