major flood lost everthing

[oldgoat]

i want to thank every one for the prayers and donations. i have found a new place and will be moving in on the 1st of may right now i,m still at the hotel untill then. i have been down to the old place and i can now get in and check some of the damage. every thing that is soaked i,m just tossing out. i have lost all of the furniture. all of my personal papers are just a big ball of wet paper in there drawers. i guess that bad but can be a good thing as when i go to toss them. no one can get any personal info off of them as they just fall apart. looks like i can save all of my wolf and eagle figures. that made me feel good as there just mudddy and can be washed. also all of my faimly pictures where high enough on my walls that they never got touched. now some even better news if you can call it that. my motorcycle helmet that i bought brand new survied!!! the damn thing floated on top of my kitched tabble was still in it,s box so i opened it and damn that helmet was wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap. just lost the carboard box. the helmet was dry as can be. it still breaks my heart as some things i had since i was a chilkd is gone. and some i hads wen loved ones passed. but as long as i have my departed loved ones in my heart i still have there memory. and there is nothing that can take that away. things can be replaced like furniture. dishes bed and stuff. i will not let this get me down. i shall go on and build new memories thank you every one. sincerly james

Thanks for the update James. Good news about your helmet. Loss is hard, but do not fall in love with anything that cannot love you back. New things, new memories.
