Horrified

The next time you leave your home, stop a second and look back at it.

Now imagine that place of yours smashed, leveled and destroyed. Think about what it would be like if your home was reduced to a lifeless pile of rubble. All the beams, studs, sheet rock, shingles, lying in a huge pile.

Or imagine it's gone without a trace. That one blows my mind. A gaping hole where the foundation was and no other signs of it having been there in the first place. All the toys, books, pictures gone. TV is a memory. All your clothes blown away. Take it to that level of detail. You can't find anything that belongs to you. Or if you do find some of your things, they're no longer usable. Every memento, every photo, souvenir... gone.

Think about that. Think about how you'd cry. Or how the kids would.

Think about that.

Then do something to help someone to whom this has happened.
