hurricane katrina


hurricane katrina to all of us who had the bad luck of being in and surviving all have stories.each person suffered some personal disaster of some kind.

some lost loved ones,homes,personal property and many others.for some the nightmares has only begun and people like me has had nothing but nightmares.yes i am thankful i lost no one.but i lost my sanity,some memories that can never be replaced.all i hear is it is all replaceable and people lives are not. I agree but to the personal property i will never regain any of it.it does not exist anymore,can't run to the local or nearest store to replace it. I only have whats left of my life which i am thankful for.yes i have my wife and kids.my kids suffered as well-they still go to the same school but alot of their friends has moved away.my daughter graduated and it was the worst time for her.what a way to start a senior year right after a major hurricane that kept them out of school for several weeks.but graduated she did.her life is still upside down.

I can't undo what hurricane katrina did,i have lived through volcanos,typhoons,twisters,earthquakes and other hurricanes.but this is the one that left the biggest scar.one that will never completely heal.so for people who get mad with the tee shirts that say I survived hurricane katrina-untill you walk a mile in their shoes stop complaining.if i could find one my size i would wear it proudly cause i did survive hurricane katrina.
