Things that I worried about 5 days ago:
Which outfit I am going to wear for 1 year anniversary dinner
Which jewelry will match it
What color should I paint my nails
That fact that I'm starting my senior year of college in a week
Things that I worried about 3 days ago:
The fact that my family and I might have lost everything we owned
The fact that I'm without my motorized wheelchair and the fact that it might be ruined
The fact that my whole body is in pain from being in an unsupported wheelchair and having to sleep along the floor
The fact that my dad might be in more pain than me because he has none of his medications for his broken back
The fact that we might be stranded in Denham Springs for a while
Things I am worrying about right now:
The fact that I still don't have my wheelchair
The fact that I can't help either my family or my boyfriend save their belongings and clean out their houses
My life has truly been turned upside down. I would never think that I would leave my house in a boat. I would never think my family and I would be dealing with the lost of our beautiful home. But, like the weather, life is completely unpredictable. There are no words to describe how I truly feeling right now. All that I can say is I'm grateful that my family, boyfriend, and I are alive and well. It was a devastating experience for all of us, but it strengthened us. I pray that everyone else in the Louisiana is safe and well. I plan to write about my experience more in depth this weekend. God bless
