Looks like the most I stand to lose from all of this is some inheritance. It's some industrial property in N.O. In the only memory I have of ever being there, I was in diapers. My sister and her fiance have most likely lost their apartment. But they're both lawyers, they'll do fine. Once I knew everyone in my family was safe, I began to think of a suitcase I packed for my kids. Play jewelery, books, stuffed animals, I think even a paper or two I wrote. Silly, I guess.
I feel kind of guilty about thinking of that. I guess in such a disaster, we all take inventory and think of the worst things we have or may have lost. But mine is only a suitcase. And for so many others...well, we all know.
I almost put myself with the others who think only that they have lost a vacation spot. 'What will Mardi Gras be like this next go round?' I hate them right now. Without knowing who they are, I hate them.
And what about the zoo? I love that zoo. My last day in N.O. was spent in that zoo with my family. I guess I had better get those pictures developed now.
As stupid as it sounds, I'd almost rather be in there now. I feel like a traitor. How can I be here when the place I love is under water?
Rachel is going home for the clean-up, whenever that is. I hope I get to go home, too. I've offered. They won't need me if my sister and brother-in-law are forced to live with my grandmother.
That will be the worst feeling. If this place I love so much doesn't need me to pick up the pieces.
