The Aftermath Of Hurricane Ivan


Perdido Key....

Blackwater River Area....

Pensacola.....
_______________________________________________
GOING BY THE NAME OF IVAN

There has been a humbling of Spirit.....
a swallowing of pride.....
a coming together of strangers
as one

People who lived next door or down the street
but didn't meet
have become friends.....
helping each other

Strangers from all over the country and Canada
have united to help us.....
in a time when we couldn't
help ourselves

Bringing us necessities of life......
of food, water, ice.....
The basics that I took for granted
and was never without before

We all seem to feel a lump in our throats....
a fullness of heart.....
when we think about this past week...
this week of humbling

Yes, it has only been a week
since we were humbled
by a ferocious force of nature
going by the name of Ivan........
