Hello Dear China, all of us around the world share your greif and sadness. I have many freinds in china...I have my GF and her family in Chengdu. Me and my family are greatly impacted also. We are all very very sorry. Please be strong, please stay calm. Your leaders are doing a great job and many of our contries have sent money, supplies and specialists to help all of you. This is certainly such a difficult time for all you, but have faith in yourselves and strength from your hearts...I have been praying everyday for all of you. I send my deepest condolences to all the victims, and the families. I will continue to mourn with you all each day for these 3 days. Please know many many Americans care and sent money to help. Again, I am so sorry...Your freind Gino In Pittsburgh Pennsylvania- USA.
