My younger daughter lives in Australia with her family.

The cyclone is coming right after the terrible floods, and so it's a really grim situation in Queensland.

Rest assured that my good wishes and prayers will be with you guys down there during this tragic time.

Australians tend to be tough and resilient, so you will bounce back in good order.

In the meantime, God bless all of the victims.
