Reply #75: Oh coffeenap, you just don't know how Angels were watching over

[merh]

me and my family -- I am fully aware of the power of my God, not to offend those who do not believe here at DU. When you are standing in the rushing waters of the hurricane, with trees falling around you and windows giving way, furniture and large appliances falling around you or washing by, you can't help but know that God and his angels were with you keeping you save.

I can't shake the face of my 4 year old niece as I took her in my arms from my brother-in-law as we helped my brother and his family leave their one story home to the safety of the 2 story home next door. We watched the waters rise to the 9 foot ceilings of the 1st floor, making plans to go out the sunlights to cling to the roof if we had to. Fortunately that was not necessary as after several hours the water began to receed. We survived and all of my family is alive - despite the destruction and the chaos. My life is altered, my corner of the world so much smaller, my expectations now the most basic and primative.

I am grateful that I can now post for a bit, I don't know how often I will be able to post but I am so glad to be able to reunite with my DU family.

Hugs to you, coffeenap. ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))
