It's Starting to Sink In...

Watching NBC news and seeing the streets that I have come to love over the past month, and before that over the past several years, it's starting to sink in that I'm safe, but my life will not be the same. Some of my neighbors and friends are safe like me, but some of them are suffering terribly and I feel the most helpless I have ever felt. This is exactly what I was feeling before I left on Sunday. I was afraid that I would be away when the city needed help, but watching a man with his dog crying in exhaustion and wailing over the stupidity (and guilt) he felt for not leaving made me realize that his fate could have been mine.

What I can't figure out is what I need to do... What I CAN do.
