We don't know. If they tell you you can't live there anymore, then what? We looked at living here, but we can't do anything until we find out what FEMA and our insurance is going to do.

I don't know how to live any place else. We were born and raised in a small community, Spanish community, along the Bayou, and I can't comprehend living anyplace else.

Take my family - I have two brothers, his brother, a son and daughter, our house and my mother and only my daughter is going back.

It (the sun) didn't really care how I felt, it was going to rise and set regardless of whether I noticed it, and if I was going to enjoy it, that was up to me.

You and I have been created with a DNA that drives us to want to live a life with good experiences, forces us to human growth and leads us to the contribution of something beyond our understanding.

My older sister achieved her dream of being an artist. She's an illustrator living in Manhattan.
