Hattiesburg Tornado

Yesterday Hattiesburg was hit by a category 4 tornado. No one died - and that in itself is a miracle. But tonight, as I looked over the ruins of the USM campus, tears finally began to stream down my face. I began to remember the years I lived in Hattiesburg with Wayne, when Jaeleigh was first born. I realize I have so many wonderful memories in that town - and on that campus. I was truly shaped into the person I am today because of the time I spent there. And even though the town and campus have evolved and changed so much since then — almost ten years ago - I still feel so connected to it. I feel such loss and pain right now ~ and I just pray for everyone in Hattiesburg to find peace with the situation and rebuild bigger and better than before.
