We owe thanks to many who have been sending us well wishes over the past week. Thank you for your emails, comments, assistance with links, and generally caring about our well-being and that of our city. We hope that we will stay in your thoughts in the difficult months to come, as we try to rebuild a temporary home and remain connected to our chosen one.
At this point, we have no idea what our needs are and have a hard time knowing how or what we could use in terms of help. Hearing from family and friends helps to connect us back to the world, which is helpful because we are in a constant state of feeling misplaced from our home and community. There are so many who truly have lost everything and so much damage to repair in our city (both physical/structural damage as well as social/political). Honestly, we are thinking more about what we can do to help others than about what others can do for us.
One of our neighbors is returning home in a few days to work in a hospital on the West Bank (across the Mississippi River from where we live in Uptown). He has a key and will be checking our house thoroughly once he is able to return to our street. We hope that he is able to visit sooner than later and can only wait for his report to hear the details of what we face on that front. We still have some friends who are currently unaccounted for and our thoughts are often filled with hopes and prayers to their well-being.
