I had been planning to write a post-script to Ondoy, a year hence. But I got buried, at work, under waves of photos of children being vaccinated against measles and the like. Ondoy seemed to have been flushed away from recent memory. But when Juan entered the Philippine's area of responsibility, and references to the Ondoy terror filled the morning news --- I could not help but remember what Ondoy was like.
Utter devastation.
But, indeed, there are rainbows after storms. Life remained a bit stormy a few months after Ondoy. But gray clouds had melted since then.
So allow me to send you this wish. May you have many rainbows after this storm.
