i understand why they stayed...

when i lived in Virginia there were numerous times that we were told ~ you better leave but it's like that fairy tale ~ the little boy who cried wolf ~ how many times were they told in the past to leave... it's gonna be terrible then nothing or if something certainly not the devastation that we have seen ~ so why are so many judging and condemning...

i have to wonder if it's because those that are judging have never been in the postion to feel that no matter how bad the storm... there really are no alternatives that feel viable so riding it out just makes sense ~ i know that feeling

my heart... my head... my prayers... what money i can give is with all of those people that are lost and have nothing left ~ i understand maybe not quite on the scale... but i truly do

You'll Never Walk Alone ~ Rogers & Hammerstein

when you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
and don't be afraid of the dark.
at the end of a storm is a golden sky

and the sweet silver song of a lark.
walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
though your dreams be tossed and blown.

walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone,
you'll never, ever walk alone.
walk on, walk on with hope in your heart


and you'll never walk alone,
you'll never, ever walk alone.
