Okay
I did leave. I am glad I did of course, but can't find words for what else I am feeling. My home, my city, my life is gone. Its not just me either...its thousands of thousands of people. This is very surreal. I am glad that my friends are okay. I need to see if I can get a hold of Roger and Elyse....but I did talk to Craig, Bert and Katja for a long time yesterday. My friends are wonderful, I have amazing friends. I spent 2 nights in Jennings, LA after a 12 hour ride. normally takes 2 1/2 I was there with a co-worker and her husband. We stayed with her cousin. I am now in Dallas, TX staying with my wonderful friends Dia and Randy. I talked to my parents yesterday and they both asked several times "Do you want us to come and get you?" which I know translates to "We want to come and get you" But I don't want to be that far from the city. If it takes 2 weeks, to 6 months...I will be back there. I will help rebuild my city, my home. My life.

hi there. i found your site through Zoot. i just want to say that i wish you and your family/friends/loved ones all the very VERY best. i can't even imagine what this must have been like for everyone. i'm doing what i can to get money/supplies donated, but i wish i could do more. just know that tons of people throughout the country are thinking of you guys. *hugs*
Take care Stacey....we'll do what we cantohelp to rebuild too. I'm so happy you are safe.
So glad you're safe with Dia.
You know you've got the whole board behind you.
I popped over here from Zoot's site on Sunday and saw the post that said you were staying, and I have been wondering if you were ok ever since. I had to search my history to find your site again, since I couln't find your comment on Zoot's site when I went back to look for it. I'm so glad to see that you are ok and I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
