No Change

There hasn't been any change in the situation.

We did hear from The Brother this morning, he is still okay.

He is more optimistic about getting a flight out today, but no one will be surprised if he can't.

We are glad to hear that he is at the airport, the US military is there, along with all the supplies. At least, thank God, he's not roaming the streets.

I just talked to The Husband, who is out of town waiting for his brother to arrive on a plane, he's not sure if he'll still be away tonight or on his way home. He's going to stay there until his brother arrives, even if he only has time to give him a hug and send him on his way (The Brother has to catch another flight to go home to his family).

The Husband said our sister-in-law is having a hard time with this, as I can imagine. I knew it must be so, but it just broke my heart to hear it.

The waiting and wondering are very difficult, indeed.


Edit:


As I wrote this post things were happening!! I checked my email after logging off of blogger, and had received notice that The Brother was finally on a plane!!


Saying a thousand prayers of thanks!!


He's still not quite on his way home, but at least he's out of what must be hell on Earth.


It's a start, and if everything falls into place he may very well be able to give his wife and children a big hug in the next 24 hours!


Praise be to God.
