This is like 911,,did anyone see that poor elderly black man talking about losing "his Mary" when he couldn't hold her hand. That did it for me. This is so bad.
Losing "his Mary"?
His wife?
For me this is almost harder to watch than 9/11 because it's happening in slow motion. 9/11 was like a kick to the gut for me and I just got angry when I could think at all. This is unfolding so slowing my feelings of helplessness are multiplied.
Yes I saw it on ABC this morning. That did me in too. All of the reporters on scene are very short with their newsroom counterparts. The ones covering this disaster seem to be shaken to their souls.
Yes sweetie- that's what did it for me too..
This is an "event" like 9/11 in many ways...watching horror unfold and being helpless to stop it..
God bless these souls.
Yeap. She told him to take care of the children and grandchildren at the last moment.
I know ... I've had lumps in my throat for a while now - but that's the one that made me start to cry..
I can't help but think about now only New Orleans -but that whole gulf coast.
I belong to another board where we've not heard from one of the members.. she lives east of New Orleans. Also on the board is a member whose sister in law lives near Biloxi. The sister in law stayed.. the member is near panic I think as they cannot contact the sister in law. It's brining it very near home now - even though we just talk to people "electronically" you do develop bonds...
