Oh Jody I am so glad you are safe and your home is safe, it has been so heavy on my heart for these past days. I cannot believe how it has affected my psyche. Everytime I saw a boat anywhere I thought of Calypso!!
It is sad but I heard before the hurrican hit that Galvaston has a reserve to help rebuild. I have so many questions about some of my favorite places there on the strip across from the seawall that was hit pretty hard and I would love to ask you when the time is right and you can talk more about it. I respect your privacy until you can talk however.
I told my kids I just want to come and be there to volunteer but I am going to wait until the time is right then come later and help, I have the time to do that so I am praying about that in the near future.
Thanks for the update Jody I am so thankful ya’ll are ok. I’ll keep praying.

I kept thinking about Billy’s family when watching the news this weekend. Glad to hear that all are safe, but can only imagine what everyone must face when they are allowed to return. Devastating! Let me know when you hear about your house and when you can return.

Hugs to all of you,

Shelley

Hi Jodi,
We’ve been away, but were watching CNN while we were gone. I was praying all was OK with you and yours. Glad to read your update and my prayers will continue.
Such a disaster.

Thanks so much for continuing to update. Your poor Nana and Aunt C.

We’re holding you guys in our thoughts and I’ll make sure to drink a toast to you tonight and have an extra coffee for those wihtout electricity.

I know, the suffering I put myself through…

Hang tough (I know you are) and give your family hugs and kisses from us. Well, not Billy. That would just be weird.

Hey Jody,
I will def be praying, my beloved Galveston, I was just sick all day yeterday watching. I was so nervouse watching those waves come over the seawall where I have spent so much time over the past years just made me so nervous I had to turn my t.v. off.
It also made me sad to see all the flooding and fire and no one could get to any of it, and it was very clear why people needed to evacuate, I am just so thankful no one was there.
I cannot imagine losing everything and your home being flooded, I am so sorry for your relatives and we willl be praying.
We are getting the huge rains and winds now as I type but I am so grateful that I am safe.
Praying for all of you.
