My daughter was in an earthquake

My daughter went off to New Zealand to visit my husband's father and do sightseeing. I was jealous because I am stuck in England (just got caught in a downpour when I was walking to the store during my lunch break -- I'm soaking wet now).

Last week I came home from work one night to find there had been an earthquake in New Zealand. I was worried so I checked with my husband Mel to see if Katie had been near Christchurch when it happened. He said no. I watched on TV and saw there were no fatalities and not much damage so I didn't worry anymore.

I went on Facebook and saw Katie's last update:

Bus driver yesterday: "Yeah, they reckon this area is 60 years overdue for a serious earthquake".

Today: Serious earthquake hits Christchurch.

Well, if she wrote that, she must be OK, right? The next day I logged in and saw myself being attacked for not even caring if she was injured in the earthquake. Katie explained to a friend:

I was inside. Sleeping at the time. Not very exciting, I know! I wrote an email to my parents to say I was OK but I'll be honest, I don't think they were actually concerned at all...

Not concerned AT ALL?? About my own daughter? I told my husband this, and we had a little laugh about it. Yeah, I have a baby, raise her for 21 years, struggle over this and that, hope she turns out OK -- then when she does turn out fine and I can rest on my laurels, she ends up in an earthquake and I'm not even concerned!
