Sky, I believe it will take a lot of time and a lot of support to overcome the emotional damage to the hurricane. I'm sure there are local groups that can help. I'm hoping this group where you've been a member for so long will also help. I hope you will continue to talk about it as much as you need to in order to heal.

It must have felt like a last straw to lose something of your Dad's to the hurricane. I remember when a small cactus my Dad bought me died.......years after he did. I felt so very sad remembering the day he bought it for me.

I'm very interested to hear about the clean up that is going on there. I know you lost four large trees and that will be a really big deal having them removed.

I hope you know I care and am listening.
