  • Hurricane Ian passed right over my town as a category 3 storm. We got battered, but I was more fortunate than a lot of people including my friends. I am praying for my community and all the people to be safe and to rebuild our little town. Thank you to all the people who helped us and who helped me and Lemonade. I'm thankful for my staff who stayed with us during the storm away from their own families, and for my family and friends.

    Just remember courage is not the lack of fear, but knowing the fear and going on anyway. You were courageous!

    It’s ok Jenn… Everything you are feeling is normal… Everything is just another experience to write in our book of life… There are plenty of Chapters yet to be written and so life continues… that was so special that your brother sent for you to come to his house! Enjoy the visit Jenn and share in the love of family! Be thankful and continue to smile!

    Glad you and Lemonade are okay, and that your brother and Jen could help you get to safety where you could rest and decompress. Even if other people fared worse, your experiences and emotions are still valid. But you're right, we can support others. "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." 2 Corinthians 1:4
    Thanks for checking in. Enjoy family time 😊

    Jen, that looked and sounded really scary. I only experienced 1 hurricane in the 70's when I lived in Florida and Orlando was our refuge during the storm. I feel so badly for Lauren, John and the kids. Also the people who experienced flooding from the St. Johns River.
    I'm glad you and Lemmy made it home where you're comfortable for a bit of a visit.

    So glad to hear you and Lemonade are safe! Hurricanes can be super scary, and from what I’ve seen, this one was pretty devastating. The sound of the wind was eery and would have been terrifying to me, too! It’s great your brother and friend were able to help get you out. Enjoy the time with family! 😊

    Jen, I have been thinking of you. I know you were scared. I'm sure everyone was. You should be proud of yourself for getting thru such a stressful situation. I'm proud of Lemonade for being a rock for you. It takes so much out of our ESAs when they're working. So happy you were able to get out and be with family. Try to relax and enjoy your family time. Much love from Texas. Hugs

    that's so scary. I am glad you had a group of people around you so you were not alone. I get so sick to my stomach with snowstorms that get me locked in. One time that happened when I was in a state hospital and they converted the gym into a place for staff to sleep as the roads were not passible and everyone was going crazy because the staff were also scared and irritable.
