been thinking a lot about things today..

[alli_boo]

been thinking about people in New Orleans. yeah, all my parents friends live there. well the majority of them and everyone my mom works with, all live there. and there are some people we havn't heard from. :-/ so hopefully they are ok. pray for them, will you. thanks. i've been also feeling guilty. like when i bought stuff yesterday at the mall..after i did that..i felt so guilty because those people don't have anythingg at all. and it made me really apreciate what i have..really apreciate the life i have. like some people live like these poeple are living now..on a regular basis. wow. i have so much respect for the people who make the most of their lives and only live with what they NEED. because god knows, i wouldn't be able to just live with what i need, but i really do get courage and insight from these people. they are whats making me wake up in the morning..the fact that someone is much much much worse off then me..just makes reality..actually..REAL. i take a lot of things for granted..and most of these people don't even have the bare necessities. :-/ makes you think, huh? geez. i feel so bad for those people. my mom had to fly to New Orleans today to get all the patients out of the hospitals that are flooded and she said it was just HORRIBLE. like she couldn't even bare to look at it..it would make her cry everytime she did so. and the fact that she doesn't know if she'll see some of the people who work with her again. some of them didn't evacuate :-/ and they havn't been in touch with them since. wow, it makes me sad because i knew all the people who worked with her. i have so much respect for my mom right now. she is the only one working right now, because we're not getting profit from LCH yet..and then she had to deal with all of this stuff..she did two organ transplants last night..sending two kids to college..and planning a wedding..and getting a promotion at LOPA. WOWW. i love her so much.♥ so all of you who thought i was 'rich'..hah, think againn. no where near it. now yall know why it bothered me so much when yall said that i was. mann, i hope that everyone yall knew in New Orleans is okay, they are all in my prayers. if you get the chance, donate some money to the Katrina fund. it'll really make a difference and you'll feel better if you do. i know i felt better after i did that today. :) its such a shame..no one should have to live like this..no one should be just mandatory evacuated from their house and then have it either not there or underwater when they get back to it. its not fair. it blows me away as to how much damage hurricanes can do. i knew they were devastating, but not to this point. gawdd, i cannot believe. well pray for them and everybody who is impacted by this storm, not just the people who live there, but the families who might be missing somebody or who lost someone forever.

God Bless.
<3 yall so much.
