Jim Warman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This Tuesday will be the 1st anniversary of our two week odyssey. New homes are being built at a break-neck pace - most being larger than the homes they are replacing. Some of these are going up for sale as soon as they are completed. Most of our doctors lost everything in the fire and many of them are moving away, back to cities. My doctor, been seeing him for over 30 years, is staying but he is semi-retired. He lost his house to the fire and, when the rains came and Sawridge Creek swelled over it's banks, he lost nearly half of his lot to the flood - no there is an insurance nightmare.... I was one of the lucky ones (aside from bouts of survivor guilt) and the whole episode was more inconvenience than life altering. Yet so many of my friends and acquaintances lost everything. Tuesday, I will give thought to those, the world over, whose lives have been changed by natural disasters, yet still move onwards... and also to those emergency workers and volunteers and donors who help to make things even just a little better.
