rain and storms
the threat of thunderstorms will always make me nervous. I remember when i liked to listen to the rain and watch lightening. not anymore. now it just feels my head with the awful images from april 2011. I felt so helpless as the news came from alabama. homes destroyed lives changed forever. I still wonder about the little ones we have been able to help. will they always fear the storms. will they ever enjoy the feel of the wind racing against their faces. or will a spring breeze bring back the horrors of living through the storm. how do we make them feel safe again. only time will tell how much damage this the tornado's really did, grannie

I wish I had the answers, grannie. I want to hold all of those babies in my arms and ensure that they are OK. I can't be separated from my baby if it is raining. The anxiety is too great. It helps when she asks, "Is this rain or a storm like the one that broke the houses?" It helps because while reassuring her, I reassure myself that not every rain shower brings a tornado. Will I ever play in the rain again and let it drip down my face without worry? I just don't know.
