My heart just aches to hear about Bamafan, her home and husband's business. I know it will all work out. She has more spirit and energy than 3 mere mortals. I know she will be fine but she has a long road ahead.

I have been through having to rebuild my life twice -- most recently after Hurricane Wilma, it takes a long, long, long time. And my insurance company was great -- which helped. Our battle was getting a contractor, roof tiles, windows, 2 by 4's just the basics needed to rebuild our house.

The folks in Alabama have a different problem -- many are getting very low offers for their homes and cannot afford to rebuild. (Because housing prices continue to drop.) I hope that Bama and Mr. Bama get a fair offer on their house.

Each disaster recover situation is completely different and has its own challenges but there is an oddly good side to surviving -- I am a different and better person after loosing so much "stuff" -- but it took a long time to gain to this perspective. I really have learned what is important, but I still have flashbacks to the bad times.
