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.
