Pam!
Your husband is there with you?
I am SO glad we heard from you! Geez girl, you're going to ride it out in style I guess.
Yes, it's awesome to see all the help waiting to spring into action. Thank goodness they began early and we had so much lead time with the warnings so that everything could be put in motion to be ready to help. These people who do this, the employees of all the companies, they sleep in trucks & live in trucks for days on end. When we went through Frances & were w/o power for 9 days AND we knew it was going to be a hard fix b/c the power pole in the empty lot next door broke in half.... we cried & cheered when those 3 power trucks out of NC showed up. They were tired, dirty, hungry and still had a spirit that was humbling, they were still able to smile and were happy to see us happy. Amazing people! They hadn't seen their families, hadn't been able to kiss their kids or have any kind of a normal life for 10-12 days and didn't know how much longer it would be before they could go home. Bless ALL of them!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
