Sally: I agree with Liz. You write beautifully. Your description was so bittersweet, it made me sad and happy at the same time. Let us all see more! -- Kathy

Nice to have you on line, Sally. I have to say, it was a pleasure to read
your post just because you write so well. I loved your description of the
hurricane.
You might try writing to help you through the healing process. You have a
gift with words and writing can be a very healing exercise.
I am sorry you have suffered so much loss and diversity in the last few
weeks. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to mend.
Liz
