4 years

I sat transfixed to the TV like most the nation watching a city, my city the city I had called home, where I had been married, where I lived longer than any other place. I couldn't seem to get enough information about what was happening yet at the same time it was too much to process. How many of my friends were now homeless? Did my home survive? Would we be allowed to go back? Where were my babies going to be born? How was my city changed forever? Yes I am talking about New Orleans, Slidell, Biloxi and Gulfport. An entire region was changed by wind and water. Some of my friends never did move back. The Navy transfered us temporarily to another city where we stayed til the girls were born. God watched over us through all the ups and downs of the weeks and months that followed that fateful day. He carried us through the storm literally. He gave us an amazing church family that took care of us and loved us.
