i read a different version of this from you some time ago. i was riveted then, same as now. you're such an effective writer, you make me feel as close as i can to an experience i never want to have. i live in new orleans and feel such sorrow that this happened to you here. that this happened to you at all, and that it keeps happening all the time so you and other survivors have to relive it over and over again. and you're "the lucky ones." it is such a sickness in this country most of all.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry this happened to your and your loved ones. And that it keeps happening all over the country.

This is so powerful and so brave. Thank you. I agree with John, too. That is a perfect description of trauma.
