I have a dear friend that lives in Florida and works at a hospital ... no chance for her to evacuate. She has a son that lives in Ocala... her baby. I've talked to her several times in the last week, giving long distance support, and wishing I could do more. Yes, she was stressed and yes she was worried but her last text to me said... it's headed toward y'all be careful. This meaning the hurricane is going to travel up into North Alabama and she was worried about tornadoes. How much courage it takes to stand and face the storm when your knees are knocking. To be worried about everyone else and put your fears aside. True courage is in what you do not what you say. So glad to call her friend.
