This is the place where Gerard and I fell in love. Sounds silly but a bunch of us used to hang out at this little house which we call the red house (It used ti be red). This is the house where Gerard and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving & Christmas together back in 1990. I have not been in this house in over 15 years. Yes, that is how love the tenant lived there until hurricane Sandy came through.
This was Gerard's childhood summer home. The memories are too numerous to mention. Our hope is that we will be able to fix the house and rent it again. Inspite of this huge loss we are smiling because we are together and safe. So many have lost everything.
Anna's classroom assistant lost everything. Her husband had been laid off. Her home had more water then this. She taking turns living with friends with her two children until she can find something pernmanet. She called us to see if Anna would be able to continue attending school or if we were relocating. Over 500 families have been displaced in my town. Gerard is so sweet and caring that he has offered to fix her electrical issues. See this is the reason why I love him.
These trucks are picking up the contents of our homes. They barely make it to a few houses before they need to be emptied

Amazing just how dangerous nature can be. Something so vital to life: water, can be so dangerous and deadly. I am so glad you are all safe. Give Gerard a big hug of thanks from us for helping others out. He is an amazing guy! Looking toward the future and more memories to make.

I love Gerard too!!! Get that man some peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, would ya! : ) Hugs to you all. Prayers continue.
Your hubby is such a sweet guy! I feel sad reading this, and knowing what the hurricane did to the place that holds so many wonderful memories to you. I wish you guys will be able to fully fix the house, and possibly make it a little hurricane-proofed.
