I tried to write it kind of stream of consciousy, so the reader could feel the pace of it a little better.<br /><br />Rel,<br /><br />I've had so many things happen to me in the past that really put the every day in perspective. I feel lucky as hell every day I wake up and me and my girls are healthy.<br /><br />Brando,<br /><br />I know. That's how I first met you and the lovely Becky, so I guess it wasn't all bad.<br /><br />Mrs.,<br /><br />Sometimes I think going through things like that make people better. It puts things in perspective and keeps us all from taking things for granted.<br /><br />Skyler's Dad,<br /><br />You're welcome.<br /><br />Johnny Yen,<br /><br />I lived in Alsip in junior high and used to go roller skating at the rink in Oak Lawn. I remember they had a plaque there that told about that tornado. Crazy.<br /><br />Tara,<br /><br />I think a fire would count as a natural disaster as far as how it made you feel. How scary for you guys.<br /><br />Pamela,<br /><br />Thanks. Me too. An alternator would have broken the bank for sure.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-13587458791134832562010-01-14T15:27:36.829-06:002010-01-14T15:27:36.829-06:00That's so wonderfully written!

How terrifying! <br /><br />I could understand you and your neighbors laughing, we did that too when our apartment was on fire, and we all stood outside hugging people we barely knew.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-40097074390849551822010-01-14T10:30:26.608-06:002010-01-14T10:30:26.608-06:00Wow. What a harrowing story!
I've never been ...Wow. What a harrowing story!<br /><br />I've never been in a tornado, but remember seeing the aftermath of the tornado that hit Oak Lawn, Illinois and the South side of Chicago in 1967. My grandparents lived in nearby Evergreen Park, and we drove past the demolished Oak Lawn High School on the way to see them. Happily, nobody was in the high school, but over 20 people were killed in other places.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-14244941776140507682010-01-14T08:19:14.614-06:002010-01-14T08:19:14.614-06:00Wow, what a story!!

One time it was so bad out..I had forgotten to bring in the patio umbrella and it landed next to the diningroom window..just missing the glass by a couple of inches and the big tree in our backyard came down and landed on cables and phone wires attached to our house and the neighbours. We were very lucky..<br /><br />Your girls are amazing young women and to have to go through something like that..

Writing them down gives us the chance to reveiw those harrowing circumstances from a calmer perspective down the line. Blogging is a great tool for that.<br />I reviewed my 2009 blog entries and despite the news media's constant bombardment of the dire world we live in, I discovered that in reality my year was pretty darn good.<br />Glad it was just your battery!<br />relrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030572981830789370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-18303586393748318522010-01-14T00:34:51.759-06:002010-01-14T00:34:51.759-06:00What an incredible post.

It really does sound like a disaster movie...well, it was a disaster. <br /><br />Really, though, anyone who doesn't "get" blogging should read that.laura b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15086009761943858915noreply@blogger.com
