Yeah, you are right. I know other are suffering more. I get that.
Not homeless. Just not able to actually live in my own home. Listen, we have been dealing with an awful lot here. This has cost my business a fortune. We have no idea when we will be able to reopen. We still don't know when we will be allowed to go home. I spent 24 hours in a hotel with no power and no opening windows. We ran out of food. I was supposed to be doing the trip my dreams bringing my new boat home, but no, I can't do that either. Now we find that our slip was destroyed in the storm and since there have been two tropical storms and a hurricane in just 3 weeks, so much of the marina is damaged there is no other place for us to use. So, now we own a boat with no place nearby to keep it. But, by all means, please continue to lecture me because that's really what I need right now.
Wifey B: I feel for you. I know it feels awful. Just the word "homeless" was an unfortunate choice. I don't know how serious the personal loss is to you, doubt you know the full extent yet. Don't know if you had business interruption insurance. You're suffering now, but just not to the same extent as some. I'm sure your community will pull together once it all settles down. I hope you can escape to your boat, but know that may be impossible. I do understand how serious your loss is. Still I hope you are appreciative that you don't have to live in circumstances like Haiti and many homeless in this country. I'll tell you this too that it feels so horrible right now, but keep in perspective how little time has passed. It will take more time to feel like you have your life back and, sadly, there may be aspects you can't restore. I think of Sandy and it's damage and some houses and marinas are better than the ones they replaced while others were just left to continue to destruct. We know we were fortunate, but we honestly take no joy in that as we see how many have suffered greatly. For some in SC and NC it's even two years in a row.
