Oh Michelle, I'm relieved to read that you've all made it back to your home in the city. I am sorry there's water in your house there too, you have a couple of very considerate daughters there, I think. Gosh, it just seems so overwhelming the nightmare of days you've just lived through.
If it's given you some power then I'm glad you got to face the demon and bear witness to the death of your home. I've been trying to imagine it, and as much as I've never been through anything even remotely similar, I think I have a tiny sense of understanding from your words and think you are awesome Michelle. I suppose it's a little bit like healthy people who can't know what it's like to live with AS, but really try to. I am just so grateful that you're okay!
Please rest rest rest and rest some more if you can... and give your star doggies a good scritch behind the ears from me for being man's best friends!!

Your words about Abigail really got to me.
warmest hugs
