Uncertainty

[enduringplum]

From the beginning I was pretty certain that our house would end up under water, totally flooded, and now there's no uncertainty left at all: I've seen the satellite images and our neighborhood is under water nearly to the rooftops.

Still, some uncertainty remains: we don't know when we're going home, or even if we are. If we do go home we aren't sure where we'll live, we're not sure if FEMA will give us the money to pay off our mortgage or not. We don't know where we'll work or how we'll get by, but I am certain that we'll manage somehow and that we'll have the full support of both our families and all our friends; For those things and so much more we are truly blessed.

I'm fortunate enough to have plenty of help from my immediate and extended families and once people are allowed back into the New Orleans area my boyfriend and I will have a place to live, as my parents own a house next to theirs that they were renovating to use as a rental property.

Your offer is truly touching and I'm grateful for all the generous people like you. I do have a few friends who still don't know what they're going to do, so I'll pass along your info. to those friends who I know would never take advantage of another person's hospitality.

I'm currently disabled and living with a number of health problems, so would you mind if I added you to my Friends list?

Oh please do! Yes, it is a whole new level of hell living with chronic health problems on top of everything else. I am thankful that you are so well taken care of. Glad to meet you!

One of the good things I'm getting out of this horrible event is some good, new friends. Thanks for everything.
