Things lost nine years ago: a house, a car, most of
our belongings; and, for lack of a better way to phrase it, the naiveté and
false sense of security we all have, to a certain extent, that something as
terrible as that happens to other people and not to us. Things gained in the
nine years since: a sense of place; a calm, although it was hard fought, in the
acceptance of loss; a home; and an extended network of amazing people who I am
happy to call my NOLA family. (Although one is dearly missed.) All in all, I
think it was a good trade. Happy Katrinaversary.
