Not sure if you can bring this up or not since I am private. I have these pictures public though.

This is the note I put in a bulliten on there. Keep in mind that I am not a religious person (Still trying to get my faith back)

I ran out of memory on my camera so there are only 18 photo's but, they are up now. I had respect for some of the victims, I didn't have the heart to capture what they were going through while clearing out the homes or surrounding the homes with a lot of damage.

It's amazing how the community had come together to help clean up the mess. Thank god there were no deaths, this was something I have never experienced and I am grateful today, especially after seeing what happened that our home and family was spared.

I talked to my mom about some emotions I had, I was at peace. Earlier in the day I had wondered "Am I going to die soon?" and this was before the storm hit us. I just laid on my kids praying and praying. The fear I had the most was losing my children and I didn't want to lose our home. I was at peace with if I had to go but, not my family.

I was standing there today and a song came on, everyone knows I love nickelback. I almost cried but, I didn't. I stayed strong :) I had a rush of emotions going through me though.

The chorus is what got me "Amen I'm alive"

If Everyone Cared lyrics

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
 
Miki ~ it wouldn't come up unless you are a member of myspace...I don't know if you would have to be your friend or not, but I would assume that you would have to be.

Looks a lot like some of the pictures from around here after our storm! Glad you are okay!
