I woke up in a room full of people. I read the words on the wall.
'RECOVERY CENTER FOR TSUNAMI SURVIVERS'
The shock of my life came over me... I wasn't able to remember anything about the tsunami.

Soon, they told me what happened and where I was. I was in Russia. They also told me that I had a little amnesia. That's why I wasn't able to remember anything..

Today, I remember a few pieces of that day... I remember that we all ran away and that the last person I saw was Dani. I know that a little girl fell in front of me because she helplessly screamed for her Mom. She couldn't stand up, so I quickly picked her up and put her in my arms. She was crying..

That girl was with me in the Recovery Center. She survived.. But at this time I wasn't able to remember her.. One day, a lady from an orphanage came to take all the children. Only two kids though.. That made me sad.

When I successfully recovered, I looked for a job in Russia. A family wanted me to take care of their children and the house. I was glad I found I family I could stay with. They were really nice, but when I was with them, my memory slowly came back to me.
