Victorian Bushfires - Sams Heartbreak

February 20th, 2009

The Victorian Bushfires have brought countless stories of heartbreak, tragedy, and sadness. There are a few stories out there of survival and some that are even uplifting. Sam’s story is of the former. Sam is one of the many who have lost everything. The Victorian Bushfires destroyed his home and claimed the lives of his beloved family. It is a sad story and as I type this, thinking about the pain he is going through now I am teary eyed. How Sam managed to pull it together to do this interview is hard to imagine. I can only think that he is most certainly numb and feels that this interview was the right thing to do to honour the memories of his beloved 5 year old daughter who he calls “Hairy Bum” and Tina, his wife. Sam I commend you for your resolve and I realise that words can do very little to help ease your pain. Regardless if that mate, my thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope that as hard as it may be, you treasure the grand memories you have of your beautiful girls. My deepest sympathies to you mate.

My deepest sympathies to all who have lost so much as a result of the Victorian Bushfires.

If you are on this page and watching this video. please support Sam and others who have suffered such tragedy by making a small donation to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund as run by the Red Cross. There is a link after this post as well as on the front page of this site. Thank you all for your support.

Be sure to show your support by visiting the links to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund being run by the Red Cross. Again I thank you for supporting this cause and my deepest sympathies to my fellow Victorians that have lost so much in these Bushfires.
