"Mom, aren't you relieved I was suspended from school today?"
Relieved isn't half of it. Wednesday afternoon I thought the punishment a bit severe - detention seemed like a more viable option for getting up in the middle of PE class and ignoring the teacher's request to sit down.
Thursday, during the two-hour drive home from work, with twisted, uprooted trees dotting the landscape, rescue workers and concerned parents on every corner, I cried from relief. Sitting in the dark with no electricity, cable, phone or internet seemed like such a tiny inconvenience after the storm.

I am so thankful you and your son and pets are ok. I can imagine what you are seeing around you... because I saw the same years ago when a tornado tore our town apart.
I am thinking of you.
