It destroyed everything I worked my entire life for…All that remains is me and my roosters. Thank the Lord that my wife Peggy is not here to see this, God rest her gentle soul. This would have crushed her.

I’m forced to stay by my brother in laws house. Me and him never got along too much but due to the circumstance, there’s no choice. I hope that some kind of salvation comes. God is good but he reminds you to live your life right. Every now and again, he gives you a taste of his wrath.

Alot of good people are hurt by this. At least I have a place to stay. The thing that upsets me the most I would say is my dog Lucky. He’s gone. I found him underneath a few pieces of ply wood about one hundred yards North of what used to be my house. He was my best friend.

Well, I guess I have to rebuild, make the best of what I got. If I quit now, it all won’t make sense. I have to keep on keeping. It’s what my mother used to say…keep on keeping…
