Brother in India

Recommended Posts

My brother is on vacation in Goa, India. That's all I know. I don't know what hotel he was supposed to be at. He's not due back for another 9 days. From what I understand Goa was not really affected by the disastrous Tsunami. But then he said something about going on a river trip. And meeting friends somewhere else. I just would feel so much better if I knew for sure that he was safe. He's my best friend. I'm just posting this as a way to relieve some of my anxiety.

Oh, Nancy, I bet he's just unable to get to a phone right now. I'm sure he will contact you as soon as he is able to. Sending you (((hugs))) and prayers for his safety.

Nancy,

I know this is very disconcerting, to say the least. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers, hoping you hear from your brother soon.

Hugs to you,

Leatha

Nancy, I hope your brother is OK. Goa is a former Portuguese colony on the west coast of India, on the Arabian Sea; I think the tsunami affected the southeast part of India on the Bay of Bengal, especially Madras and the rest of the state of Tamil Nadu. Marie's right - he probably can't get to a phone. And even if he could, the phone service in India must be a mess right now, with lines jammed as people inside and outside India try to contact family and friends.

The BBC has a bulletin board for for missing persons in India: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/4130343.stm You might want to post a note on the off chance that he can get internet access. Good luck.

Hey Nancy. Just thinking about you.

PLEASE let us know something as soon as you can.

What a HORRIBLE tragedy this was.

There are no words. In things like this they are so clumsy, so useless. Like performing brain surgery with an axe.

So, know this. Across the miles, and across the great void of cyberspace, feel this, a cyber hug. Hugs to you (((((((Nancy))))))), and my prayers go toward you, and yours.

Hi Nancy,

Sending best wishes and thoughts to you and your brother... Hopefully everything is just fine for him and his family. We are worried to because our church has a family over there doing missionary type work for a couple of weeks and was evidently going to go to the beach for a couple of days last weekend for some sunshine and waves in the affected regions. On Sunday nobody at church knew anything about their condition but hopefully someone has heard something by now. What a terrible disaster that has occurred. I am a science major so it kind of fascinates me too but it is awful how many people have been displaced and have died. Let us know when you hear something. Teresa

Please keep us posted on how he is doing. I have heard that so many people waited hours to be able to make a call or get a message through to family. The services are very poor or non-existent. I am hoping that he is just not able to find a way to reach you. I will watch for your future posts. Please let us know. Hugs and my prayers are on their way to you.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and good thoughts. I just got an e-mail from him this morning and they have been totally unaffected by the disaster. I'm so relieved. In my head I knew that the area of the country in which they were vacationing was unaffected, but my heart needed to hear from them. Thanks again.

Nancy

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
