Thank ya'll for caring. It means alot.

Graceland, it is the Katrina you thinking of.

Sabby, if i had this to do all over i would never have come back. I was so adament about coming home and rebuilding. I'm one of the few. Now, i see what the ones who left saw way back when. It use to be safe where i live, but its not no more. Its alot of people that came here that never lived here before. And they brought the crime with them. And with all the new developments going on, more is coming in. Night before last i chased a guy out my yard with my bat, the same bat i've been having. I called 911 before i ran outside and by the time we got to the corner the cops were just turning onto the street. He was arrested, but i have to live with more of this **** in my head. It's not fair. I hear people say, god gives you only what you can handle. Well thats not true. I've lost my mind over all this and fight for my life every day. I don't believe no more.

Katrina has also claimed another marriage. My friends who've been together for 24 years are getting a divorce. They've been having problems since Katrina hit and things have just gotten so bad. Depression and financial problems tops it off. This is the 4th marriage of just my friends she's claimed. They all say things were good until she hit. I know it was the same with me and mine. The storm drew us apart, we fought, we both depressed and no antidepressants could do the job. So we ended it too. And we were engaged to be married.

I wish just one thing was the same. Even the restaurant at the corner. But it wont. Cause its been knocked to the ground and hauled away. Now its just 4 foot weeds that sit there.
