[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 764485, member: 18807"] [ATTACH]4560[/ATTACH][ATTACH]4560[/ATTACH] [B]“All that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters.” Gordon Lightfoot[/B] These are foundations of lives that were just swept away. Foundations. You can see it on TV You can read about it It is so much different when you feel it. I will never stop going back. I will never stop leaving a neatly folded twenty on the bed every day For the Maid at the J.W. Marriot on Canal Street. I couldn't go to New Orleans to help because I was recovering from a motorcycle crash. I still collected school supplies. I still collected musical instruments with my Alma Mater. I was lucky to be invited to The Superdome for the reopening because of my efforts with the School Sisters of Notre Dame...that September 25, 2006...Saints v. Falcons. Many populations were forgot in the first year and my Catholic College, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, we collected walking sticks, canes, wheelchairs and walkers for Old People..or so I thought...just old people. I could not go on that September 25, 2006 I lost my vision because of something called [URL='http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/opticneuritis.html']opticneuritis.html[/URL]. As I cheered on the Saints... I knew that life as I knew it would change forever the next morning. I knew it would change and that I may never be able to able up the stairs in the Superdome. My heart and soul goes out to all my UPS brothers and sisters that live in the New Orleans area. [ATTACH=full]4560[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
