the aftermath...

so it's been a few days since the storms...the truth about how devistating the storms were is coming out and it's horrible. don't get me wrong, it's horrible but im so tired of hearing about union, im tired of hearing just about union. yes it's a miracle that so many of their students walked away with not a scratch-but there still were those few who are still suffering in the hosiptal...and need we forget the other's in not only jackson, but memphis, and everyone around us. no one died at union-2 people died in denmark tn-about 15 min southwest of jackson and are we hearing much about that no. in one of the last rounds of tornaods denmark was leveled-i observed at the elementary school last year and on the main road in the town you could still see the exact path that the tornado took-it destroyed homes, lives, schools, and so much more-and in this round that tiny community lost two more people...yes it's almost total destruction at union-but it's also total destruction in some residential areas here in jackson and other places. come on people-union is not the only place damaged, the students were not the only one who lost places to live, not the only ones to loose everything they had--

this post sounds really bitchy but it's how i feel-yes everyone suffers, yes union suffered and will suffer for years to come, but so will the families, so will the old people who lived in jackson oaks, so will the employees at that place in memphis who lost 3 co-workers, so will the citezins of denmark...

don't just pray for union, don't just pray for your family, don't just pray for your friends, don't just pray for you city, pray for everyone, pray for the crews trying to restore power, pray for the nurses, pray for the desaster response teams, pray for the construction workers, pray for students, pray for peace, pray for our environment...pray for everything-not just one group, not just one student, not just for one school, not just for one area...
