New Orleans
[written Monday morning]
Right now as I write this New Orleans is being buffeted by by one of the most spectacular displays of fury nature can concoct. To see one of America’s jewels; a favorite little sister going through so much pain is difficult. The damage in the wake of Katrina will be great. However; what I have learned after watching hurricanes streak sideways through the atmosphere in Houston; and after seeing America unite to help New York and D.C. – is that New Orleans will heal.
If she listens carefully in the minutes following the storms raging, she will here a second wave approaching fast and hard – that wave is the volunteers, the aid and the love of her extended family; and it will crash down upon her with greater fury than the wave of destruction which preceeded it.
Stay strong, our prayers, condolances, and support are with you!
Dear Doug,
Thank you.
Laurie, south east Louisiana
