Believe in Bridge City

After Hurricane Ike hit the city I wrote this for the town as encouragement

On September 13, 2008 a storm named Ike was more powerful than anyone believed. It floated cars and took away homes. It sent marsh grasses and animals into places they shouldn’t be. This storm not only destroyed our town, but it turned all  of our smiling faces into depressed frowns. It turned many houses inside out. You could swim from one  end of town to the other without a doubt. It made many wonder about things they lost. Yet, they made it through with their lives. We are THANKFUL that we are still here and say THANK YOU for every new day that passes by. We may have lost things of material value that we think we need to survive. Yet, when the times were tough and few felt defeated, we were on each others sides. You lost a little and I lost a lot. But we helped each other with what we got. Two months have gone by and people are still rebuilding. Though they may have a long way to go. It is hard on everyone hurt by the storm but we amile and don’t let any of it show. Here it is time to give TAHNKS once again for all we have received. We will rebuild and be better than before on that you can
