"First video from this morning, all the work my parents and helpers have accomplished during the week while I was at work. Second video is late this afternoon after a full on days work. It's hard to dump your life on the side of the road. The hardest part was loosing my children's baby books, photos, and special little bits I've kept since their birth to present day. Because everything was under water for so long, it was impossible to save anything. We were wading through mucky, stinking, bog all day...the reality of everyone who has been working on the property all week. It's extremely hard to make this post but we've had so much support I wanted to share our current reality, now that the water has finally receded. It has been too painful up to this point. Our home was a tumultuous rubbish dumb after the water drained away with a horrendous smell. Thank you to those who have been there for us. Unfortunately, this isn't even the end... More tomorrow... Then somehow the silty, stinking, bog that is left must be addressed."
Amongst it all somewhere is also some childhood, and travel memories I had stored with my family too.
