This week

The images from Katrina are devastating, heartbreaking, and Cyril.
Lives and families are destroyed. City's, towns, buildings, homes, are all destroyed.
Kira and I have boxes of clothes that we were going to sale at our local flea market, those items are now being boxed up and being sent to Red Cross.
Seeing women walking the streets with just their baby in their arms and a diaper bag crying, literally breaks my heart. I sob watching, worrying about this woman, wondering where she will go, who will help her, what trouble will come her way, where is the rest of her family. I toss and turn all night worried for this woman and her infant child. Where will they sleep, where will they get food. What will she do without diapers.
The looting in my fiance's defense is because they are starving and thirsty and have nothing. My defense, when your thirsty and starving and in NEED, we shouldn't see your ignorant ass running out of the Walmart with a walkman, a big screen tv and a vcr!
Where will they go, the people who have nothing? How do you start over when you only have the clothes on your back? How do you start over?
I guess that's to far ahead. How do you get out of a town where people are killing, shooting, raping, and stealing? How do you find safety?
How can we sit at home in the safety of our warm cozy beds with our full bellies and not be compelled to do something, How could you not want to help.
My co-worker's family are in MS. They have called to let him know they are trying to get back to see if there was anything left. His sisters home is gone, the two uncles homes are gone.
I can't even imagine. We don't have a plan, we don't have our things well organized, what would we grab as we were leaving town, what would we take with us. My crazy cat. Blankets, clothes, food, water. It' all so cyril as it was during 9/11. How do you get your mind around something that is so devastating? How?
Be safe and love each other.
