We held our breaths as we watched Ike climb over Cuba, the Keys, and head for the Gulf. To all of my friends in Texas and the neighboring areas, my heart goes out to you. Whether you hunkered down or evacuated, what’s left in his wake is horrific. Looking at the news and seeing more and more of the devastation, makes me realize just how tenuous we truly are. 

It breaks my heart to see the suffering and the loss – there are really no words to comfort in such a disaster. I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. May your strength keep you moving forward as  the rebuilding begins and may you find peace in the arms of your loved ones.  Hugs – Christine
