I could not digest the fact that it was all gone. My home was all gone.
The storm of the century, they called it. It came raging into our lives, and left only destruction behind. Thank God, I could get my family out in time. In these hard times, we will have to look toward each other for illumination.
It’s time to rebuild, and things will be back to normal in no time…

But one wonders, do we want things to be back to normal. After destruction, isn’t that a good time to build anew, but better?

There are some people who don’t look for better, sadly!

We had huge fires here last year, and nothing is back to normal yet for the people who lost everything to them…

this made me sad – in light of the giant forest fire in California that literally wiped out the entire town of Paradise. 😦
