HURRICANE IKE - AFTERMATH
Published Monday, September 15, 2008 by XY | E-mail this post
Galveston, Carnival Ecstasy's home port, was hit pretty bad. Talk about chest-deep water, no electricity, bad communications. I've never been to Galveston but I read up on it a bit since that is R's home away from sea. Let's pray for Hurricane Ike's victims and may they find their way home someday...
Speaking of R, I haven't heard from him for two days now, and if not for the
internet, I would have gone nuts. Apparently, they are in better condition than those left at land, but they will instead
dock in New Orleans since Galveston's port is closed indefinitely. I am still worried and it seems that worry will always be part of my life unless he chases another dream. Sigh. I wish there were easy answers. I wish life is a John Lloyd/Bea movie where in spite of real issues they still somehow get a happy ending, without resolving any of those issues to begin with. I somehow find it hard to believe someone who doesn't eat chicken skin (literally and metaphorically) can just change overnight just because he was heartbroken. A leopard can't change his spots after all, right?
