The way I feel about New Orleans can be compared to a mother and her child. I feel this overwhelming desire to swoop in and try to save it. I feel as if I'm abandoning the people and the city if I don't go. The people down there became apart of my family and I don't want to lose them. I'm sure that many of the people who were on the trip have similar feelings...Nawlins just felt like home. I have a connection with that city and it holds my heart. I now have a better understanding about why the people don't want to leave....to be honest I probably wouldn't either. It's more than just a city..it's a culture..it's home...it's family.
They are in my thoughts prayers and more importantly in my heart.

My dear Kiersten these's blogs are beautiful! I'm so happy you got to experience this trip and have quite an adventure these past few days. I think New Orleans has captured the hearts of all who have had the chance to experience a fresh breath of hope. I can't believe 3 years have past and our new distant friends and families who are still struggling must experience the violent storms of mother nature again. The spirit of the Gulf Coast and those who have gone through the worst of the worst will always be with us. The heart of the south is quite Heartbreakingly Beautiful! And soon we shall all return (Hopefully sooner than Spring Break) I hope to see you this weekend darlin, safe trip home! <3 Janelle
