exsequarI just want to say thank you to everyone that expressed their well wishes in response to my last post. I really appreciate it. I hate responding to comments like that with just a trite thank you every time, it feels repetitive and fake, but I am thankful, truly. *hugs everyone*
On to more not happy things... I just read a long article on New Orleans and the events since the hurricane at MSN (it's called The Lost city). It's truly heartbreaking. One woman speaks of how an officer sprayed Mace in her face when she tried to reach for her baby when she was on a bus, and then the bus drove away and she doesn't know where her child is. How terrible is that? It's serious anarchy down there. I feel so awful just going on my every day pampered little life while all that devastation is continually being wreaked. I assume that people are still dying - from disease, starvation, thirst, drowning, murder, suicide, anything else - and it's just so overwhelming and heartbreaking. I hadn't made a post about Katrina yet, because I felt that I had nothing productive to say; I still don't, but I am thinking about it. I'm going to donate through my school. Every little bit counts, I guess...
