Ok if I cry one more time today I’m going to need a serious hug. We went to Babiesrus tonight, we went out earlier and I have been meaning to buy electrical outlet covers since Bo is so adventuresome but I forgot so since we needed to stay busy we headed out to the store again. I waasnt going to since Bo was getting fussy and I was tired but we went anyway, I figured if I didnt go now I’d forget to buy them again. So the lady in the lane in front of us was talking to the cashier and she was buying a booster high chair seat and some toys, she said it was for her grandson who was coming from New Orleans to live with them (and his mom) since their house was destroyed. her son (the kids dad) had to stay to try to figure out what to do for work. She was trying to buy a few essentials to get them comfy for the first day. I was about to cry standing there, but holding back tears, stroke up a conversation about Dean being there and Caleb said some cute things about daddy helping. She told Caleb to thank his daddy for being such a hero. Little did she know how much that meant to me. I am proud of Dean and by no means do I think doing the right thing is heroic but it was nice to know there are some who think what he is doing is the right thing. so many people have been quick to judge his “running off” and risking losing his job over this while the fact is people have lost their jobs, their homes, their lives over “this” Some one has to do something for them , we all cant sit around our comfy homes being well fed and being “moved” by the tv news. Being moved means action folks. The short conversation I did have with Dean did include him asking me to try to find someone to keep the kids so he and I could go back down there and serve. My mom is talking about going and my brother was offered to go by his work to do relief work. I’d be amazed if we could all go together, but then someone would have to take my kids, anyone willing???
