Today; I watched in horror, as my world fell apart
Today; I witnessed the death, of both my father and my mother
Today; I experienced the agony, of having my baby sister ripped from my arms
Today; my entire family was washed away, along with everyone I have ever known or loved.
Today; I died, as the entire world looked on in morbid fascination
Today; the world and I learned how to spell the word Katrina
Katrina; a solid wall of salty water (a massive tear) crashed down upon my world Katrina; will never equal the tears that have been shed, by all of us who have died or of those left behind (the living dead) to bury (us) their dead

Oh, Nelson,
I cannot fathom what life is for you now. I cannot. But this I know, my heart goes out to you; my heart aches for the loss of your family, your home, your life, the place where you conducted your living. I will remember you at night and in the morning when I pray.
may you find comfort in each step you take.
