This morning I was absolutely delighted to see video of a two-week-old baby girl being rescued from the earthquake rubble in Eastern Turkey. Apparently the mother is still to be pulled out of the collapsed building. She had been sitting with her baby in the living room when the walls caved in around them two days ago when the 7.2 earthquake hit.

My heart goes out to those in the region.

Imagine being trapped and hearing those sweet words, “Please keep silent, we need to listen to the signaling sound of possible survivors,” and praying you will be one that is heard.
