this year has been a "mother of puppies" My dad died April 29 this year. He used to visit me in CA this time of year so right now is a tough time. During his visits he would always be glued to the Weather Channel to watch for hurricanes that might affect Florida which is where he lived, and now through November is hurricane season. He would be nervous because my step-mom was home by herself while he was gone. Well the house is (or now was) in Punta Gorda where the eye hit hardest. Poor Martha; she lost her husband 3 months ago and now their home. Fortunately her sister was with her and her brother and sister-in-law live only a few miles away. His house was damaged too but not completely destroyed. They are very close as a family and even more so now. I cannot imagine what these losses would do to me....I have some faith in God but not as strong as I think it would have to be not to go absolutely insane. All prayers and healing thoughts would be welcomed. And I send my thoughts to any others who have also been affected.
Hugs,
Tooter
