An online friend of mine is back at her home in New Orleans after spending a few weeks out of the state post-Katrina. Her family (she has 2 boys and a husband who works seemingly tirelessly for the New Orleans Police Department) has been through a lot, to say the least, over the past 5 weeks. She's a lovely person and reading her blog (link above) has really helped me to better understand the unbelievable things some of the people in the area (those able to return) are going through.
Although not all outsiders may understand the strong desire New Orleanians have to "re-populate" an area that has been through what NOLA has - the spirit and determination of the people there has to be appreciated and respected!
