They say home is where the heart is….. my heart is in Florida. Born and raised in Florida, I’ve been fortunate to not have been directly impacted by a major storm, until now. Hurricane Irma is different. This is the first time I’ve ever had to evacuate my home and leave behind most of my belongings. I’ve been strong up until today when I completely lost it this morning in my husband’s arms. I’ve had a pit in my stomach all week…. not knowing if our home will be there when we get back to the Keys, not knowing how much damage we will have, not knowing how long we will have to wait to assess the damage…. Not knowing is the hardest part. I realize, I am not the only person experiencing these feelings and emotions, we are all going through a similar situation. I am so thankful to be with family and friends during this time. I’m so grateful to my sister and her family for opening their home to us. I know we can rebuild, and we will rebuild. We have a strong support group around us and for that, I am grateful. #keyslife #flkeys #florida #floridastrong #hurricaneirma #mothernature #shesabitch #support #notalone #strugglingwithemotions #husband #firstimeforeverything #lovewhereyoulive #grateful #rebuilding #hurricane #friends #family #support
