During Hurricane Wilma, a tree crashed down on my house, trapping us inside.
After we emerged, the tree was chopped up for firewood, and we repaired the house.
We did not flee to another place and expect others to take care of us.
That is how it’s done.
Exactly. Why couldn’t they repair the house instead of just walking off? When something breaks, responsible adults fix it and life goes on. There seems to be enough adults in that family to pitch in and get the job done in no time.
