They're the two simple words that meant so much to two Daylesford families this week. 

The relatives of the Comber family and Liam Oliver were plunged into anguish, when they couldn't get word of their loved ones in Nepal. 

The country sustained its largest earthquake in 80 years on Saturday, with more than 3000 people dead, including an Australian. 

Numbers are rising every day.  

It took two days for relatives back home to hear from the Daylesford travellers, who ended up in a similar location on two separate journeys. 

You can only imagine their relief when they heard their loved ones' voices. 

While it was good news for Liam Oliver, Francis and Jen Comber and their two young daughters Rani, 7, and Neve, 8, the situation remains a devastating reality for those still suffering.

Hundreds upon hundreds are homeless in the depths of winter, and many other Australians are still missing. 

Emergency vehicles cannot fit into the narrow streets and historic buildings have been turned to rubble.

Nepal's infrastructure and services are not built for a catastrophe of that size. 

It's believed the Comber family and Liam will continue on with their holidays after escaping just a hundred kilometres from the disaster zone. 

It's unclear whether the narrow escape has dampened their adventurous spirits.

For now, we will pray the hundreds of other families still without word from travellers will receive that life-saving phone call soon enough. 

We will hold our loved ones tight.
