Five Years Ago

August 29, 2010 is the fifth anniversary of Katrina. As the day approaches, I'm thinking of all those who:

lost their lives
lost their loved ones
lost their homes
lost their pets
lost their communities
lost their businesses
lost their favorite gathering places
struggle daily with the things they saw and experienced during and after the storm
took their own lives in the aftermath
still live in toxic FEMA trailers
rebuilt their homes only to deal with toxic fumes from Chinese drywall
are displaced and still haven't made it home
Remember that Louisianians and Mississippians have suffered, but are moving on every day. They are strong people with strong familial and cultural ties, and they will persevere.
