Life is Yummy Good

V(e)ntage of an aspiring woman and wife. The mother in me speaks on Eesa's blog. The activist, feminist and student in me speaks at Unshackled. This is the blog where I put all the different facets of my life together; to realize and appreciate God, Marriage, Relationships, Love and Life.

New orleans Continued...

I'm watching Oprah's special episode dedicated to the victims in New OrleanS. Glory be to Allah. Its disturbing!

The only hope they have is that their family is alive. For some that joy is a grim hope. For many others, that joy is placed alongside the bodies they buried.

Homes which have been boarded up, opened to find bodies floating around. Entire families drowned in rising water. Some in their attics. Some killed while the roofs fell over them.

Some dream homes, all shattered. The owners standing outside, but full of hope. One such victim said she's happy because she still has her family and the love they share. Many others didnt have that either. One girl was missing her younger brothers. Many other teenagers were sitting on mattresses with grim hope and strength to persevere.

julia roberts was working with oprah's angel network... she said just a simple hug could make all the difference! chris rock etc were all present...

if all the anarchy and chaos of this incident doesnt melt the hardest heart, i dont know what would!
