So glad you are ok. It is wonderful that you were able to help comfort those facing such unimaginable cir****tances.
Big hugs, Lisey, and kudos to you for hanging in there and making a difference.

Lisa, I'm so glad you're ok and posted today. I've been going through my phone trying to find you or your sister's number. I've been so worried about you.

SO glad you're safe! Bless your heart - and I mean that sincerely, not in the snide way. 
Jonesboro has been hit twice, so everyone who was here in '68 or '73 has a split second of terror every time they test the sirens. I expect Joplin-ers will do the same every time it thunders.
As you know, disaster counseling is so emotionally and physically draining. Please find someone to talk to, debrief with, anything to keep you sane. Seriously, if you need an objective ear/shoulder, PM me for my phone or email me charleegriffith AT yahoo DOT com. Take care of you. *hugs*

Thank you so much everyone. Today has been a better day for me so far. I've been helping to feed people, doing special food runs for diabetics - things that need doing, but easier emotionally to do. Thanks again

Darling regroup and rest and be at peace. What a good thing you've done...being there when people are the most vulnerable and needing kindness more than ever. How terribly sad for all concerned. The one thing you can be sure of is the resilience of the human spirit. Next year these shattered lives will be piecing themselves back together against all expectations.
Sending hugs sweetheart.
