Thanks Doreen, yes it is getting to me a lot, when I talk to my older generation, my maw-maw, paw-paw and mee-maw, my parrain & nanny, I can see the fear in their eyes and hear it in their voice, you know a lot of them don't speak anglais...or if they do, it's broken and they are just as afraid of living in "the other world" as they call it, as they are of the hurricanes...and I understand where they're coming from...we live in a whole nother world and we're afraid that our culture will die. I'm glad that things are going as well as can be expected there and I hope they continue to do so...
