We have been watching the path of Hurricane Matthew and
worried about my parents in southern FL. My father is 96 and my stepmom is 91
and live directly in the path of the hurricane. We hurriedly packed our car on
Tuesday with supplies and headed south while it seemed as if everyone else was
heading northwest to get away from the storm. We had a easy drive south even
though we did get in traffic from a car hauler catching on fire. Luckily we had
just passed an exit and was able to follow other cars down the emergency lane
back up the on-ramp to get off the interstate.
The next day we put up the hurricane shutters over their
windows and prepared to battle out the storm together.
This makes me appreciate my family so much. I’m so thankful
for a loving supporting husband who was willing to get us here to be with them.
I appreciate my parents so much and I’m so glad that we can be here together
which I know makes them feel better (there is safety in numbers!).
At the time this is published, the storm should be hitting
us with full force. I don’t know how we will fare but I ask that you keep us
and everyone who is facing this massive major hurricane in your prayers.
