To make that decision, what...Oh, I so feel for you. To make that decision, what to take, what to leave. Its so HARD!<br /><br />As you know I was in the middle of the Alabama storms. We (thank God) did not sustain too much damage--just a tree down, but many lost everything, they have nothing to salvage--250 plus dead in this state alone.<br /><br />With no power, we left to go to TN. I was faced with what I needed to bring. It came down to this: Some clothes, the most important paperwork, my computer and nook. That's it. The rest I figured if it was still there when I came back -lucky me.<br /><br />Funny, I didn't have much heartache about it, especially when we arrived in TN to find that the house we were to stay in was the only structure barely standing after being hit with a tornado that leveled the rest of the neighborhood. We spent the next few days clearing it out. This experience changed me. When I returned home, with everything intact I feel grateful and guilty, since so many have nothing. <br /><br />I pray for you, that you don't have to deal with the loss of you home. Stay safe and may only good come of what at first seems catastrophe.M.V.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680136284255619758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927521732349008934.post-65625776042655994842011-05-04T16:37:36.590-05:002011-05-04T16:37:36.590-05:00Thanks, guys.
