My husband is a deputy in the state where we live, and he is the commander of a special operations unit akin to a SWAT team. They have been in Lousiana since Saturday with the mission of keeping peace and deterring looters. I spoke with him this morning, which he said may be the last time for a while, but he stated that victims are going to be allowed back into the area to see if they can recover anything, if their homes are left etc.. I wonder how will they get them to leave again once they have returned? Will we see scenes again of people returning not only for their stuff but for others(looting)?
I am trying to keep thinking positively, but with the news constantly showing the violence and devastation, my 7 yr. old daughter is scared to death. She asked me today if daddy was going to see any dead bodies floating in the water. I told her maybe, but he was o.k. with that since he sees dead people alot. then she got quiet and said, no mommy, will he be floating in the water, will he die? It was like someone knocked all of the breath out of my chest.
I can't even imagine what our troops families must go through, and the families of the missing. At least we know he is still with us and he has a home and a family to come back to.
Sorry to go on so
