Heart and Soul: An angel watching over us

On Dec 18, 2021, tragedy knocked on our door. The river, which used to flow gently, grew and mutated into a ferocious variation of itself.

My family – five of us and our large dog – became victims of the floods. We lost a lot of our possessions, including furniture, stocks of medication, and precious photographs that no amount of money could buy.
