2 years since Katrina blew

My beloved friends,

Two years since Katrina run over New Orleans and Gulf coast. At that time I was working for a drug testing company and my clients were mainly in Louisiana and Alabama. They were not just my clients- they were and still are my friends.

I remember to watch in horror what was going on. Physically I was safe in my little office in PA but in my heart was with my friends in that horror. I was praying day and night for any phone call any news from my friends, feeling helpless. I knew the best thing for me is just be there when phone call arrives because for almost two full months I was only one they can reach. I was very worried my clients will slip back to substance dependency.

I listen one heart braking story after another and all I could do is to listen.

Now 2 years later I do not work for that company and lost contact with some of my friends but I never stop thinking of them and never stop praying for them.

Then and today I want to say from a bottom of my heart- I am proud of you and I love you.

Here is to you – everyone who Katrina and Rita touched – directly or indirectly, in USA or outside. I know there is a lot of untold stories, but right now I want to tell you- you are not alone- never were and never will be.

Please take a minute to send your love and prayers to friends affected by Katrina , Rita or any other Hurricane. I know they need YOU.

I love you and I am proud of you

Lucia
