Tonight I was watching this show called "Three Wishes" on CMT and they were took a family from New Orleans and gave them a new home in South Dakota. The show host went back to the family's house to gather up anything that was salvagable....(deep breath)...the family lived in my neighborhood. They were showing footage of where Leslie and Bellaire intersected, where my family lived for 2 yrs and the water was almost up to the street signs. I think I saw the windows to our old house and a thrashed jeep in the driveway. The family that lived next to us use to always take really good care of their boat and they showed a shot of the boat thrown into their backyard. They were riding around in a boat in the back of the family's house that lived directly across the street from us. The family who I use to babysit for. The toys that were in their backyard were floating and the water was covering their high fence. I knew it was bad but at that moment I just lost it. God really blessed us by having my family be kicked out of that house 2 1/2 months before Hurricane Katrina hit, even though we still pretty much lost everything it was God who rebuilt it all. I never thought I would see footage like that.
