Nothing is ever promised in this life. We must always remember that this is earth we live on, a force where nothing has ever been promised and there has never been a book guide saying what we can expect. We can only be thankful for the life and time we have been given and make the most of it each day. I do wish yours the best.. and say luck... is in the eye of the beholder and how you "value" life.

After all the pain.. All the tragedy... We have all faced.. With loved ones... Family.... Friends... Lovers.... Even aquaintances.......10 MAJOR DISASTERS!.... IN ONE YEAR!.... I only hope that if you were infected by this cruel act of nature... You will find away to understand ...... Or perhaps find meaning in this world we now live in...... I still get upset... When someone out of years may say something.... You may get upset for burning the dinner that meant so much to you to make..... Here's the deal... My best friend... I love him more than anyone I know.. Beside my son... Or the higher power..... I cannot get a hold of him... Its been 3 days.. NOTHING!... He was a client.. Ironic... However became my best friend... I have known him for almost 10 years... He moved to Vermont with his family 2 months ago.... And than IRENE STRUCK....  Shitty timing or shitty luck?..... Thats how I view my life.... Shitty timing or shitty luck????.. I thought If I could make it through the last year of my life... NOTHING could bring me to anger or hate or even false notion of something I wanted.... I forgive all.. and expect to be forgiven... WE ALL DO!.... Sometimes we loose track of that... When death stares you in the face .. AND YOU LIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT..... You would think there would be nothing that could make you get so anger as to feel that you had to come out of your skin!..... I PRAY FOR MY BEST FRIEND IN THE AWAKE OF IRENE..... I PRAY FOR MY SOUL TO FIND PEACE WITH IDIOTS THAT NEVER DESERVED TO KNOW ME... AND I 100 PERCENT PRAY FOR A LONG PEACEFUL LIFE FOR OUR KIDS .... 10 DISASTERS IN ONE YEAR!....... WOW...... THANKS FOR LISTENING!.

I hope you have heard something by now, but, if not, keep the faith. I have friends in the white river junction area of Vermont and they just got somewhere with cell service. Between trees down and rivers up, they just could not go anywhere to get word to the outside that they were okay. I hope the same is all that's happened for your friend and his family. Peace be with them and with you.
