I have seen hurricane destruction and I just wasn't ready yet because I knew you and I knew you would move me. This gave me goosebumps and breaks my heart all in one fail swoop.

I didn't discover the Jersey Shore until I was almost 30 (Ocean City specifically), and it's one of my favorite places to visit with the kids. Hard to look at those photos and think that what we knew before may never be again.

Just after the storm, nothing seems like it will ever be okay again. But the sun rises, people start clearing the wreckage, power gets restored and we slowly put our lives back together.
