My home and family are gone.
 

I'll never forget Katrina. My home was wiped out. My entire family was killed. I miss Mississippi more than I can say, but I literally cannot go home again. The house where I grew up is not there anymore. The roads will be different; the town is almost nonexistent. I am happy that my father died before this happened. Seeing the devastation AGAIN (we were in the hit zone for Camille) would have made him grieve dearly. Though he might have gotten the family-my mother, brother, and his entire family-to higher ground. Why they stayed, after my mother lived through Camille, is a great mystery to me. I would have thought that my brother at least would have sent his FAMILY to a safer place. But Tao moves as Tao moves. We of the ten thousand myriad things cannot fathom it. I would love to talk to anyone from the Mississippi coast again. Skype nick provided, even.

Oh my god! I'm so sorry for your loss.
I hope that you find the fellowship, support and healing that you seek.
I've never been to Mississippi but saw your post and wanted to acknowledge it and send you well-wishes and prayerful thoughts.
Welcome to the site also.
