I've been amazed at how much this hurricane has affected me from so far away. It reinforces the fact that we no longer call Spring, Texas home. All this week, as I have met with other expats, all of whom have some connection to Houston, we have talked about Ike and its powerful aftermath. It is a constant topic of discussion at gatherings.
How I wish for all the mess to be cleaned up. How I wish for normalcy in Houston. And I'm not even there. But it affects people I know and that affects me. I look online every day for status reports of school reopenings and power timelines. It's all I can do - there's no other way for me to feel helpful. So I pray and spend countless hours online looking for progress. I try to touch base by cell phone, landline or email and make sure all is well. It's hard, I know, for those of you living without power. But it's coming, one of these days. It has to.
