As the list of people lost to Tuesday's horrific earthquake in Christchurch grows, our hearts ache for the people who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods.
As the earthquake has scared the land and our hearts it has also scared our small country.
However, during our collective grief, I have never felt more proud to be a New Zealander and of our nation.
The selflessness, generosity and banding together of communities to help and support those who have been traumatised and displaced has brought tears to my eyes again and again.
Kia kaha Canterbury

I couldn't have said it better. I'm not a native New Zealander. This disaster and my response to it has shown me though that New Zealand is firmly planted in my heart. I am incredibly proud. I have grown to truly love this nation. Brave beautiful people.
