It feels like a thousand deaths in my heart to see and to know what is happening to a city I love and its people. Most of my friends are safe and in time I am sure I will hear from the others. I send all my love out there and wish I were there to at least give John a hug and promise that whatever I could do to help, I will. I donated blood on Monday, I am A+ , in other words a dime a dozen but still my blood will be given to someone somewhere in need. I am praying for everyone and for the quickest recovery.

Ok Lisa so you finally checked out my blog. Good for you. We prayed at church today for everyone affected by Hurricane Katrina. Can you believe that such a horrible disaster has such a beautiful name? Anyway, the "boy" in the picture is actually the singer of Collective Soul. His name is Ed Roland. We met him in April when they performed at Mesa Theatre... and yes they were AWESOME!!! I also have pics of Everclear. Well I have to go to bed. My cat has missed me all day and I have been working way too much overtime. Last week I worked 15 hrs overtime. It was a killer!!! My cat's name is Jasper Jax, named after my favorite character on General Hospital. You can laugh all you want, but my kitty is just way too cute!
Love Ya,
Your greatest sister
Melissa
This saddens me to no end... Personally, after having gone through Hurricane Charley with Troy gone in Iraq, it is such a psychological, as well as a physical battle to right the wrongs of Mother Nature. It was a sad time for me.
Professionally, as a Southern historian, my beloved city of New Orleans is almost no more. She has gone through so much: battles, hurricanes, floodings, slavery, Emancipation, Mardi Gras... only to lie on her deathbed with such disgrace. A queen should never be treated as such.
I have contacted the Red Cross, too, only to be told that they would not ensure my release if another hurricane were to threaten my area of the Gulf. I have too much at stake here.
Lisa, please be strong. You are in my thoughts.
