Katrina aftermath

[msoboe]

So I've been debating all weekend whether I should write about my trip to New Orleans with Ross, and after thinking about it, I've decided I have to get the thoughts that are in me out. So if you don't want to read through what could be psycho babble, or what could turn out being heart felt sap, just skip today's journal entry. It's just

Unlike most people I feel I have a huge grip on who you are and what you are about, my essential reaction is in my own post, but I'll say it here as well, in different words of course. Unfortunately for you I am not at a los for words and you'll have to read all of this. I wish I could have flown out this weekend and helped you. I wish even further more I could have gotten a hold of my friend that is out there right now to help you out (since he's the big army man), I feel like crap because I could do neither. You're right you'll be a bigger and stronger person for all of this. I can only imagine what it was like, I was talking to my dad about it and we were discussing what it must be like for Ross, a house he had known forever, completely destroyed. Please send Ross and his family my love and support and please relay to them that they are in my prayers and thoughts, especially now, but always. I have a hard time picturing Pips hooked up to machines but I think you may have that same reaction to my grandfather since was there a matter of weeks ago. We'll get through this...together, always together. I am here and I hope you know that. Thank you for the post, I appreciated. Mimi and Pips are strong, and they have lots of good karma coming their way, again tell them my love thoughts hopes and prayers are with them. I love you: for now, forever, and always. I will be there for you just have to find me.

Love always and forever,
Your sister in this life and the next,

Ok, so I read this in class this morning....probably not the best idea that I have had yet! I just about starting crying while I was reading your comment. I'm so sorry about your grandfather. Is it the one I met while I was there and is he okay? I will be sure to keep him in my prayers as well. The worst part of all of this is that life has to move on for us down here, and we can't just stay in New Orleans to fix things. We can't stay there to hold Pips' hand. We just can't be there and it's killing me inside. Thank you so much for being here for me. I know that I can always count on you in times like this. I love you too sis.

Yeah it was Hank, but I told you that more over to give you strength because of how much better he is doing now. So cheer up things will get better, we're rebuilding not tearing down remember?
