Woman Rescued After 17 Days In Bangladesh

I am not usually one to write about world news, but I think anyone who manages to survive for 17 days in the rubble of a collapsed building that has killed well over 1,000 people deserves a bit of a writeup. When there is so much tragedy and so much loss of life and so many grim things that have happened this week, it is nice to actually write about someone who lived through something so awful. Think about how happy her parents are to have her back. Think about the joy that came out of the tragedy of Amanda Berry and her fellow captors. How their parents probably gave up hope so many years ago, but have been reunited. I am such a sucker for a happy ending. The woman who survived in Bangladesh had dried food next to her and also a limited supply of water and is actually in pretty good shape. How do you keep yourself going for those 17 days, wondering if anyone will find you before the food and water give out.
