And it woudn't be even more special without the support of his beautiful wife!

Your husband is a good man for helping down there.<BR/><BR/>I just happened to watch a PBS broadcast last night about how things are going in New Orleans. The person reporting was a resident doing a mini-documentary. He talked about how broken the people are. How high the suicide rate is. But in the end, he also pointed something good--how people feel more bonded and more connected to each other. I guess that is one positive amongst a lot of heartache.Mommy off the Recordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07245436504933052526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156437384848090382006-08-24T09:36:00.000-07:002006-08-24T09:36:00.000-07:00that whole event was so tragic. and its already almost been a whole year. crazy. being here in houston---we still have people here that haven't been able to go back yet.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08281237800161723776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156429857578996752006-08-24T07:30:00.000-07:002006-08-24T07:30:00.000-07:00This is a really poignant post.

He even said that he saw worse things in New Orleans than he ever saw in Baghdad.Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332126804455557046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156396142987144752006-08-23T22:09:00.000-07:002006-08-23T22:09:00.000-07:00hmmmm... Bear and I watched the hurricane coverage on TV as though it was crack and we were hooked. but, to sum up what we thought of it, this news guy made an amazing speech. I found the text for you to read<BR/><BR/>http://lists.elistx.com/archives/interesting-people/200509/msg00073.html<BR/><BR/>it's worth it.<BR/><BR/>and having just written and published a book on art therapy, you art was definatly theraputic for you . :PNut's momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03627264867678316076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156395237744074302006-08-23T21:53:00.000-07:002006-08-23T21:53:00.000-07:00I can't imagine what it was like to live there during that time or even be there to help out. My hubby's family lives in New Orleans area. (My MIL was visiting her family during the storm. And she ended up leaving N.O. with a few of her fam to go to Baton Rouge.) Most of them are pretty well off. So most have moved into their homes as of late. (Each one had serious damage to their homes.) But a few of his family members don't have money. They aren't so lucky and are in poor health. And I worry about them constantly.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08527762200993175239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156391693039446382006-08-23T20:54:00.000-07:002006-08-23T20:54:00.000-07:00It was horrifying to watch and learn of what happened, I can't imagine the worry you felt. A great post, very heartfelt, thanks for sharing.Mamacita Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11984053506182838282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-1156387666012241792006-08-23T19:47:00.000-07:002006-08-23T19:47:00.000-07:00We all prayed for his safe return and watched the news in awe and shock of what was going on and waiting with bated breath for the hope of maybe getting a glimpse of him on the news doing what he set out to do, make a difference. <BR/> I knew when he was there, anyone he was in contact with would be just as thankful as we are to have him in our lives.<BR/><BR/>BTW The bedroom does look 100% better.LindaJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687579496289661550noreply@blogger.com
