To actually see real tragic human suffering, touches something down deep in your soul.

As I sit on my lounge chair watching these events unfold eating pizza I had to ask myself what the hell im doing.

At that moment, I began to cry realizing how lucky Iam. And how much Iam disappointted in myself for not realizing this before.

I complain everyday about my knees, my back, yelling at my kids to stop yelling and to calm down. As I sit eating and watching TV,

While poeple like this are truly suffering to just stay alive and keep what little they have left.

After 48 years of life Im truly disappointed in myself for not taking the time out of my day just to say a simple pray for my fellow brothers and sisters suffering in this way. Im ashamed Especially

While these events were unfolding I was at a gun show decieding on which new gun to buy and these poeple were fighting for thier lives.

I dont know what else to say :-( :-(

Unfortunately life does not deal everyone the best hand. The tough continue. These are the people that deserve our help. I get glassy eyed when I see or read about this kind of suffering.

We were in Athens, Tennessee last weekend attending a board meeting when 9 tornadoes hit there. I was worried a little bit when someone yelled out that Etowah was hit. That was where we booked our hotel room. Anyway it wasn't Etowah but Ootewah that was hit. The next morning at the breakfast room, hubby encountered a boy and his mother. They were hit by the tornado and the things that were at the back of their car were the best they can do for possessions. It was sad. We sat down for breakfast and there was this guy. The only thing left with him were the clothes he has on his back. He is a pleasant guy but a learned man somehow now by his experience. His first real disaster at age 82. He was watching tv when it happened. The whole structure of his house was lifted up and everything fell all around him. He is even lucky to be alive. His last words before he left the breakfast room? -- "Don't be like me. I always think it will never happen to me, but it did. IT CAN happen to me."
