Most recently one of the biggest hurri- canes to hit Louisiana, Hurricane Laura, will make history for its total destruction of cities and communities. Many families are displaced and are without a home. Today is Thursday, and here approach- es yet another hurricane heading for our state, Hurricane Delta. The unknowns are upon us yet again. If we can all survive this unknown vi- rus pandemic, and past tropical storms and Hurricane Laura, and future un- knowns that may come our way, we will all come out stronger and better for it. If anything good has come out of 2020 thus far, I feel it is that we have grown to become a little more compassionate, empathetic towards others, even strang- ers, and caring, giving, helpful to others around us. It may have been something very small to you, but yet meant some- thing very big to a stranger, that you did your part to help. (This statement I made, I’m speaking of myself, my friends and my family. I hope this is how you feel too.) So with all of this said and my heart- felt feelings poured out to you, let’s hold on, ride the ride of yet another hurricane together.
