I don't know where to begin today. I guess I would like to thank God for watching over my family this past weekend. I live in Illinois and a number of towns near me were hit by tornadoes this past Sunday. Our sirens went off and we headed into our basement but we were okay. The tornadoes stayed south of us. I feel terrible for the city of Washington. They were hit so bad. The news were saying they were hit by an F4 tornado but this morning there was talk that it might be upgraded to an F5. The Washington High School football team are still in the playoffs for the state championship and are scheduled to play this weekend. But a number of kids on the team lost all of their equipment when there homes were demolished. My son's team is in talks with their head coach to see what we can do to help their community. There's rumors that we might be taking our equipment and uniforms down there so the team can play. I think that is so wonderful. I have tears just writing this. I can't imagine losing everything. Even losing something as crazy as football cleats. It's those everyday little things you just don't think about. We all think about the big things but not the simple everyday things.
Please keep Illinois and the city of Washington in your prayers.
Thank you!
Lulu
