After The Storm

I haven't posted in nearly a year. Away during the winter and busy with life..ya know, time flies when ya're havin' fun. This past week sure hasn't been fun for many, many people, a nightmare in fact.

I think I will always remember the morning after Katrina went roaring though LA, MS and AL. I was watching a CNN reporter on TV, almost in tears herself, as a man, holding a hand of one of the three children with him and saying "She's gone. She's dead.". He was talking about his wife. They had fled to the roof of their home, but the waters split the house. He grabbed her hands and held on for awhile, but she told him "Let me go. Save the grandchildren". He and the children were roaming the street when the reporter met them. Faces drawn, eyes filled with the memory of the last moments of their wife, mother and grandmother, their images burned into my mind.

Harvey Jackson, where ever you are now, tho' we've never met, I won't forget you. God Bless.
