“Well, first of all, it’s quite heart-breaking and it took us quite a few days to actually get together what happened, and it still, you know, gives me chills down my spine, because New Zealand is such a multi-cultural country and it’s all welcoming.
So, it was, it was hard to sort of get through that phase, and definitely is I’m trying to, you know, just help out more than I do normally. Be more compassionate and sympathetic towards things now, and I look at my family in a different way, thinking each day is you know, so much more important now. Yeah, it’s just so hard to talk about and to think about what the families actually went through, and I just can’t imagine, and thinking of losing your whole family in one go is very, very heart-breaking, and I definitely can’t talk about it, especially.
Especially for them to know that, like Jacinda said, they are us, and you know, we don’t think of you any different. Your beliefs are yours. Please don’t think that we think of you as different people. You are human, and that’s the most important thing for me, is I look at everyone in a human way, not what they believe in, and I respect whatever they believe in, and I will always now, and we really hope that this phase doesn’t come by ever again for you guys.
I was born in India, and I came here when I was about seven or eight, and I did all my education here. I’m married and I have a 17-month-old baby, and I just stay home with her, to take care of her. I used to work at the Counties DHB, and also was a pharmacy technician for about 10 years.”
