A Heartfelt Apology to the Commenters Whose Messages I Missed

     
          I am so sorry that I saw your respective comments/messages only now, in a folder (Comments Awaiting Moderation) here in my blog. I have been very busy during those months; I saw some comments/messages those times which I was able to answer then, but unfortunately I missed some, including yours.

           Kindly tell me if it is not yet too late for me to answer your questions about the short story. -- ARV

"Based on the account of survivors, this 3-storey house in Calacala saved hundreds of lives, as survivors clung to it for dear life. But inside out, it was badly damaged and will never be again a home."

"About 250 homes in this 4.8 hectare area were reduced to nothing. 6 houses apparently remained standing after Sendong, but really, roofs do not make a home."
