Moving into the light

Today we remember those who lost their lives in the devastating February 22, 2011 Christchurch quake.

We thought about our city - in darkness really since the first big quake in September 2010. We heard stories of courage, of hope, of optimism from the leaders who can take us forward from here.

I expect many tears were shed today. But I think we can now look towards the rebuilding of lives and of this wonderful city.

Thanks to all of those, near and far, who have given us their thoughts, wishes and practical help. Karen
