Ba...Imhess, I think crazy is probably about right!<br /><br />Barbara, so much that made New Orleans unique is still here, thanks to the oldest parts of the city having been built on the highest ground.<br /><br />Paz, thank you.<br /><br />Sabena, yes, that is the lesson of those awful days. I live my life very, very differently today. And my Labor Day weekend was wonderful, thanks to a surprise visit from my older daughter.<br /><br />Helena, thank you.<br /><br />Charles, I read that 100,000 of those who didn't come back were African American, while only 15,000 were white.<br /><br />Ariel, I'll email you.<br /><br />LOgalinOR, thank you. I've noticed some anniversaries hit me harder than others, probably a reflection of life events at the time.<br /><br />Ali, thank you. I think such events shock us out of our (probably necessary but delusional!) sense of safety and security, and thus are forever traumatic.<br /><br /><br /><br />cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-79834262880689768712013-09-06T08:31:27.031-05:002013-09-06T08:31:27.031-05:00I remember Katrina well but not because I lived th...I remember Katrina well but not because I lived through it. because it was only a few short years after 9/11 and that I did live through. I kept thinking of the similarities – not that Katrina was an act of terrorism but because of the needless deaths, the terrible destruction and overwhelming fear that Katrina brought. And as you say, many things in life are back to the way it was before. But the memories will always be there and be a part of who you are and how you live. I know that is how I feel every time I walk along the river and don’t see the Twin Towers. Even now 12 years later it still seems wrong. I wish you the peace that only time and faith can give.

Your thoughtful reflections and painful recollections, are still haunting. Sabena said it well, about how life can change in an instant, and yet be better for having survived and overcome. I don't say that lightly, as it is still evident that the memories are still heartrending and that life in New Orleans is still adjusting---to the changes in the aftermath. We all hope that with each passing year, that the city and its' people can look back and see the positive aspects and successes. Yes, life is different, but it can still be good. Our thoughts, prayers, and hearts are with you at this time of year.LOgalinORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256923560753000547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-88611603656869299582013-08-31T15:01:23.982-05:002013-08-31T15:01:23.982-05:00Hello Ms. Harris,

I would like to interview you for the blog, if that works well for you. I would email you the questions and you would send your responses when you are satisfied with your answers. It is a very low-pressure way to interview.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br /><br />Thank You,<br />Ariel<br /><br />ariel_heart (at) msn (dot) comAriel Hearthttp://mysterysuspence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-77129500057277594232013-08-31T09:28:14.241-05:002013-08-31T09:28:14.241-05:00Yeah, I don't generally see a lot of differenc...Yeah, I don't generally see a lot of differences in New Orleans now. A few things are noticable about the residents. Certain areas will jump out at you but I don't go through those areas very often.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-62950414554580120532013-08-30T15:50:56.890-05:002013-08-30T15:50:56.890-05:00I too am thousands of miles away, but I remember y...I too am thousands of miles away, but I remember you and the others who suffered when Katrina hit.

How very precious our way of life is and what can be gone in the blink of an eye. As you say, it will never be the same, but hopefully, as with any tragic event, we will remember and mourn for what was lost, yet be the better for having survived and overcome. Try to have a fun Labor Day weekend!

It broke my heart to see the distruction and your words brought it all home again. I think you - and all the residents who stayed on - are very brave (or a little crazy:)). Thanks for some poignent words of reminder. lmhessnoreply@blogger.com
