Good afternoon everyone,
ShoneyBoy here........
Its been a long time since I've been on the site.....
I just wanted to take a minute and say we survived the flood of August 2016 in Louisiana...... Our house and belonging are a different story, but are just things ......
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone that have called and texted checking on me and my family over the last few months, I truly appreciated the thoughts and prayers........
We still have a long journey ahead of us to repair the house and try to replace what we can......but I can say that there are good things that have come out of this horrid event.......
I have met some really truly wonderful people in this world that have stood beside me through this entire process that I will never be able to thank enough......
I have learned what is truly important to me, that is my family and my friends........The material things we lost are meaningless if you don't have someone to share them with..... it's about sharing the experience that makes it memorable...........
I've never been a very religious man, but I have become closer with God....... I've find myself turning to him more and more through this process........
I have learned patience's........ patience's to deal with the things can and patience's to let go of the things I can't...........
I have learned that insurance company, mortgage company and government are NOT looking out for my best interest !!!
And the hardest one for me was, I've learned to trust people again......... I've learned that there are still some truly good people in this world...... and I can say that I have met a lot of them through this process and can't say "Thank You" enough to them.........
All in all we are making progress, so that means the world to me.......it is not as fast as I'd like or always the way I want it, but it is progress so that means something, right?
Here are a couple pictures of the house when the water was rising on the morning of Aug 13,2016....... as we were leaving.....we ultimately had 5 1/2ft of water in the house before this was all over...... but I know that in the end I will be able to fix this.............
Again thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone..........ShoneyBoy
