What to say, what to say...First off my thoughts and prayers go out to the residents of Hawaii...living in Florida (Hurricane Hangout) I know first hand the devistation natural disasters bring..."Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have"..."The Impression That I Get"...Mighty Might Bosstones
Everyone has had some tragedy in their lives, or have felt someone else go through it...we can all sympathize the pain and suffering, if not than the pain we felt at one time wasn't as bad as we thought...Tragedy is remembered, In Florida Andrew is often brought up...that was the hurricane that destroyed South Florida, Katrina will be remembered for many years...tragedy seems to be a marker for our lives, ask any one and they can tell you excactly what they were doing when tragic events happened...I was driving to school when Challenger exploded, I was getting out of lunch and on my way to band when Reagan was shot, I was in training at a new job during 9/11 etc. etc...hell in Puerto Rico, in the country a elder person age is usually figured out by how many years before or after they born after a hurricane...cataclysmic events happen all the time, and they are used as measuring sticks for time...what we need to do is remember, "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"...or something like that...and be compasionate, and even during regular days...don't judge a person by their picture, "you never understand a man (woman) until you walk a mile in their shoes"...or something like that...so all I'm trying to say is don't be critical, be compassionate, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything...yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah...that'll never happen but at least I put in my 2 cents
