"Thousands of people
forced from
their homes."
I have now deleted the email I wrote to my
Australian pen-pal, Gai, a month ago. It is
too
depressing to read except for these words,
"Thank you, Gai, for your concern and prayers.
Charley and I are both OK for now."
That's what I wrote
then, on November 16th,
around midnight. The situation has changed.
Now I'm hearing the rain on my roof, and I don't
want to remember how
concerned I was about
the fire just a month ago. Now I need to figure
out how to control this dripping onto my floor
from my ceiling. I have buckets in
place.
