It's 7:00 pm my time and here I sit thinking/praying for my best friend/business partner who is now sitting in the Superdome in New Orleans waiting for Hurricane Katrina to strike and to do it's damage. She has called me a few times in the last couple of days, always when I'm at work and has spoken to my husband both times. Like a lot of men, his interests/concerns are usually about himself and what is happening in his own little world as he see's it. All of which have have absolutely nothing to do about her or this storm. Thus, increasing my anxiety and leaving all my questions unanswered!
My heart aches..... I have but a handful of people I hold close to my heart (I mentioned her in my previous funeral post). She is one of them and she nears the very top of my list. She is the Godmother of both of my children and though we are very different we compliment each other. I'm scared. I'm scared for her and her husband who have been vacationing there since Friday and I'm scared at the thought of not having her by my side next week.
I am quite sure I will not sleep tonight and I will have Fox News on all night. They continue to show thousands of people entering the Superdome. I search the screen for her face all to no avail. I know she is there. She arrived early around 11:00 am East Coast time and from what I could gather she was in good spirits. However, on the West Coast the news is not good. Katrina has been rated a Category 5, the highest there is, with 175 mile wind warnings.
Damn! I need a drink!! Be kind Katrina, be kind......................
