And the countdown begins.... again!

99

So, thats the new number! So much has been going on. It finally hit me this past weekend, We are going on 9 months since my parents had to leave and all thats left for me is until the 1st of July.

I cannot state again, how crazy time is. How it can be short and long. How a year has flown by and yet seems like eternity. This weekend I am getting ready to head down to New Orleans for my spring break in order to aid in the Katrina Relief.

I am ready to go, and am very nervous. I don't know if that is even the right word. So much has gone on in my head in the past year, and I finally realized that I can't avoid it anymore, and it hit me hard. The past weeks have rivaled the worst of days, and yet I know I am heading down to aplace where people lost it all. How thankful I will be at the end of the week, I can only imagine.

I spoke with my parents tonight. They continue to inspire me and give me hope to continue. The coming months I know will be nothing like what I've gone through in the past, though it is the same circumstance. I'll continue to take each day and I am sure we will all continue the fight. I encourage those of you that can to get involved with what will be happening in DC this coming Monday. We need to come together and continue the fight! We can win this! It is a just cause, and its for the benefit of all!

I pray something great comes out of htis week, and I have hope!

Have a wonderful day, whoever reads this.

prayers and blessings,

Marie Gonzalez
