The mud will dry. The roads will reappear. The fields will be green again. The school drum will resound. But after all, I believe that people after natural disasters are no longer the same people as yesterday - you have become more mature, more profound, stronger, knowing how to appreciate every meal, every page of a book, every class that seemed normal but turned out to be sacred.”
