Yesterday we walked along the beach in the Connecticut town where we grew up
and were shocked by the level of devastation - flooded homes, jagged roads, massive ocean walls
crumbled into the sea.
We waded through water knee-deep, shook clods of dirt and mud off soiled rainboots,
ran into friends and neighbors and asked them how their homes fared.
We were grateful to hear that all had escaped harm in spite of the toll that this hurricane took on beachfront property.
We went home to bathe in our pool
lit candles around the family room
and celebrated my mother's next year of life.
We're thankful, because we lost only power, internet service and a few tree limbs.
Still praying for those less fortunate - hope you're all safely tucked away!
So glad to hear you guys are ok!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad your family is safe! And how many of us get an opportunity to bathe in a pool?
