Grateful


Hi MIP Family
 
 
I live in downtown Manhattan on the 10 th floor and have been without Internet, electricity, heat, hot water, etc. since Monday. A very kind friend just drove to my apartment and brought me to their home where there is all the comforts of home. Internet, heat, hot water for a bath and TV. All the small things I took for granted just a few days ago Shows how important a gratitude list truly is.
Tonight I am grateful for the warm home and a warm bath and to be able to come here and share.smile
 
 
Hope everyone else is safe.

Glad you are finally in a safe place! My stepmom is in the New Brunswick area of NJ and she has been staying with friends. She lost phone, internet, and electricity too. I called her Tuesday and was freaking out because all the phone lines were jammed. I am from NJ originally and my grandparents lived in Brick just across the bay from Seaside Heights. I've been in tears a few times this week looking at the pictures of devastation. It's like seeing my childhood(the good beach memories) go up in flames.

It will all be rebuilt and I know that HP has a plan for everyone. I just wish I could open up my home to someone who needs a hot meal and some heat, oh and internet service, LOL. I am flying back to VA on Friday to visit my mom. They weren't hit as hard but lost power for a bit. Hurricane Sandy sure gave a punch, that's for sure!
